Hi Simon, how do you mean exactly? With NVidia, theres an installer that foes it all, or you can uninstall in the same way. The actual dll’s that make up part of the driver package are system files in a protected area.

I want to get rid of all the previous installs that are stored on my PC. I just want to find out where they are kept. Thanks for replying.

Its not in one place, drivers aren’t one file, there are hundreds of files and registry entries. Theres an option when you upgrade the nvidia drivers to do a clean install (its a little checkbox). This removes the old ones completely before installing the new ones. If you want to get rid of them completely, you could try this utility… https://www.guru3d.com/download/display ... -download/
I used it a couple of years ago and it worked a treat, but as a general rule, its best not to go poking the bear. Let us know how it goes.
