Every time I run flatpak update after a new kernel install I find that I have to update the following nvidia packages along with several others:
org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-530-41-03
org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-535-104-05
org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-535-113-01
org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-535-54-03
org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-535-86-05
org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-535-98
My question: Are all these packages still needed? If not how to delete the ones NOT needed?
Thanks for any help offered.

You only need the extension that matches the system driver, typically the newest one. The same applies for the 32-bit version (org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-*
) if installed.
flatpak uninstall org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-{530-41-03,535-104-05,535-54-03,535-86-05,535-113-98}

Doing a 'flatpak remove --unused' returns "
$ flatpak remove --unused
Nothing unused to uninstall
## Steps to reproduce
Have an NVidia card and older NVidia driver.
Install a Flatpak that needs NVidia runtime.
Update NVidia driver to a newer version.
Flatpak will update the NVidia runtime, but won't remove the old one.
Run 'flatpak remove --unused' and you'll get the message.
