    Driver Store-File Repository using huge disk space. How can I reduce it?

    Thank you for the update. Try deleting the unneeded drivers by following the steps below:

    • On the search bar, type command prompt, right-click on it from the list then run it as
      Administrator.
    • Type the command pnputil.exe /e > c:\drivers.txt then click
      Enter.
    • This command will create a file drivers.txt on C: drive with the list of driver packages that are stored in the File Repository folder.
    • Delete all unnecessary drivers with the help of command pnputil.exe /d oemNN.inf (NN — is a number of drivers file package from drivers.txt, as example oem07.inf). In case the driver is in use, you will see an error while
      trying delete it.

    Update with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.

    Hi

    Is it possible... that there will be drivers that are not inuse when I perform this action - that I may actually need?
