If you find your hard drive capacity reduced by an extra large amount try this solution.

I had my ssd of 250gb showing 122gb used less than 2 days after purchasing my pc, but after applying this BAT script. it was down to 44.5 gb......well worth applying.



I cleaned 12 GB of driver stuff with this simple .BAT script.

It loops through all numbers from 1-300 and tries to delete the driver. It will just do nothing if the driver is in use, or doesn't exist.

@echo off
for /L %%A in (1,1,300) do (
echo Deleting OEM%%A.INF
pnputil /d OEM%%A.INF
)
PAUSE

create a file called 'cleandrivers.bat' on your desktop (or anywhere else, make sure it's not .bat.txt or something)
right click that file, run as administrator
It took less than a minute to process on Windows 10.

So far, everything seems to run normally.
