If you’re a mobile user working with a laptop, there’s a good chance that you connect to many printers in different locations, which you may only use once or twice. After a while, without realizing it, you can end up with a lot of printers installed on your computer.
Sure, you can simply delete the ones you don’t need from the Settings app, but what you may not know is that deleting a printer doesn’t delete its driver. They are actually stored in an inventory, in case you need them again. Although this is a good approach, if you know for sure that you’ll no longer need the driver, you can keep things organized, free up a little bit of space, and prevent possible printer driver problems by deleting the driver completely from Windows 10 or older versions.
In this guide, you’ll learn the steps to delete printer drivers from your Windows 10 device completely.

Alternatively, if the device is using Windows 8.1 or Windows 7, you can uninstall the printer from Control Panel Hardware and Sound Devices and Printers, right-clicking the printer and selecting the Remove device option.
