You must have a file named nvidia_driver_for_liveusb in your directory,
so nvidia* expanded to that. Normally autoremove does not take a
parameter and only removes unused packages.

To find what package is available use
apt-cache search nvidia
To see what versions of a package are available use
apt-cache showpkg nvidia-304
When I run this on ubuntu 16.10 I only see one version listed:
304.132-0ubuntu0.16.04.2
Ubuntu have removed all other versions from the repo.
