General Software Discussion / Can I safely delete all these drivers now?
« on: August 02, 2015, 06:10 PM »
In (C:) in my Win 10 there is a folder named dell, and it holds 19 folders like this one:
C:\dell\drivers\R227558
I am confused by the localisation; C:\dell\drivers... If all these drivers were Real Life today, they would be seen in _Installed Programs_ wouldn't they? They aren't.
I updated from Win 7. Windows Vista on this machine was at least 5 years ago. If the folder was almost empty, I wouldn't mind keeping it, but it takes up a full GIGAbytes! - and my old Solid State drive is only 119GB and has very little free space.
Can I safely delete this dell folder?
