I would like to know if there is a way to clean out the driver store files without having to spend a lot of time on it. If it takes that then ok I will do it, I am just looking for a good procedure to do it either way. I usually don’t have too much trouble with this, but I just installed 7 on a zotac mini pc and I already have 35! GB in that file. This pc is set up pretty basically and does not have some large amount of programs in it to have generated this mass of drivers.

Probably a separate issue, but how in the world did it download all of that data – lucky I don’t pay per gig of data! I did use a slipstreamed W7 iso that possibly has some things on it, but I can’t imagine it extracted that much from the small iso file and it did not do this on a previous pc I used it for. Best ideas to clean out my driver store files? Thanks.
