Note for the next installation: if it seems that cannot run nvm, try to close the terminal, and reopen it again.

To uninstall nvm from root try:

$ rm -rf /root/.nvm Then edit /root/.bashrc file, find the following lines and delete them:

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
[[ -r $NVM_DIR/bash_completion ]] && \. $NVM_DIR/bash_completion

If there is no /root/.nvm directory, then you need to figure out where did you install nvm. Find an .nvm directory, and delete it.
