Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling

Crispy said:

That "NVIDIA" folder you just delete manually, this program is designed to delete the left over files once you have uninstalled the driver through "Programs and Features", there can be problems caused if you just uninstall then install the new drivers, the old and new drivers may conflict with each-other and cause errors.

Thanks for the confirmation. This will prove to be useful since I recently switched from an Nvidia graphics driver to an ATI based one. Thanks for the tutorial. Rep added!

Thank you.

Phyxion.net - Driver Sweeper

New version 3.0.0 first post updated.

These left over files can cause conflicts with the new driver files, that's why its a good idea to use Driver Sweeper to remove all these files.
If you are only removing graphic card drivers you only need to remove display and physx the chipset is to with your motherboard.
