I'd be glad if someone could help me out. I'm running 22.04.1 on a notebook with Nvidia GTX1650. I tried changing the Nvidia driver from 510 to 515 in the "Additional Drivers" GUI. The change failed, probably due to temporary internet disconnect, I tried it a couple of more times, it failed again, until I tried to play it safe and switch to the noveau driver. However, at that point I got stuck with the option "Continue using a manually installed driver".
I reviewed this previous string in depth: Not able to change the Nvidia driver in ubuntu 20.04, but couldn't find an answer applicable to my scenario.
E.g. when I try
sudo ubuntu-drivers install
I get
File "/usr/bin/ubuntu-drivers", line 513, in <module>
greet()
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/click/core.py", line 1128, in __call__

If I try
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
I get nearly identical output

And when I try removing all Nvidia packages:
sudo dpkg -P $(dpkg -l | grep nvidia-driver | awk '{print $2}')
I get
dpkg: error: --purge needs at least one package name argument
But I can't find out which argument is the correct one.
So to sum up, seems like I'm stuck with the integrated UHD Graphics at the moment, unable to use my Nvidia.

Any ideas on how I can get a valid Nvidia driver installed again?
