First if you searched and tried to remove the files from a location as C:\windows\system32\driverstore\FileRepository\ you might notice that is not possible since you need SYSTEM access.
To know what driver you want to remove you will need to list them.
Open a command prompt or powershell as Administrator than
dism /online /get-drivers /format:table > c:\drivers.txtOpen the file c:\drivers.txt and note the Published Name as per
Version: 10.0.19041.844 Image Version: 10.0.19045.3448 Obtaining list of 3rd party drivers from the driver store... Driver packages listing: -------------- | ----------------------------- | ----- | -------------------- | ---------------------------- | ---------- | ---------------- Published Name | Original File Name | Inbox | Class Name | Provider Name | Date | Version -------------- | ----------------------------- | ----- | -------------------- | ---------------------------- | ---------- | ---------------- oem77.inf | nxdrv.inf | No | Net | SonicWall | 10/18/2017 | 2.0.6.1Now to remove the driver take note of its Published Name as above list.
pnputil.exe /d oem77.infThat's it.
Other tools that can help are https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns though I found that would work most of the time but in some cases will not be able to remove the driver files but just registry cleanup.
