Removing AMD drivers - delete ATI and ATI Technologies folders?

[hughtrimble]

Evening all,

I'm currently wiping AMD stuff from my computer, prior to installing a new graphics card. I've been following a guide here: http://www.overclock.net/t/988215/how-to-remove-your-amd-gpu-drivers-new-2016

And part of the removal process involves deleting 'ATI Technologies' files in the registry editor. But there are also 'ATI' files in there too. Do I delete both, or just the ATI Technologies ones?

Also, what about the AMD and AMDDVR folders?

Uninstalling via Add/Remove with the express uninstall AMD software is 99% of the time fine.

For the 1% of the time when it isn't, just use DDU, which performs all of the steps in those guides, and will avoid any chance of you accidentally deleting something important.

Grand - just used DDU and it has indeed removed all those other folders that weren't mentioned in the guide I was using. Cheers!

Remember normal uninstall is the best first attempt given DDU can be over-zealous.
