Removing drivers from the DriverStore, how safe is it?

[petrou58]

Hi,

I've been looking for ways to create space on my SSD, and I've found that my DriverStore has used around 7 GB!

Now I've heard that this is quite large, and I used a DriverStore Explorer to check out the drivers that are actually stored there, and found quite a lot of old Nvidia and Razer drivers.

I was wondering how safe it was to remove these old drivers from the DriverStore? Has anyone here done it?

Thanks!

its relatively safe to remove a few old versions, especially for things like video and sound, worse that can happen is you go to nvdia's website and download the latest drivers. Looks like your MoBo has nvidia chipset, some of those nvidia drivers are not video drivers, so be careful.
