Uninstalling old drivers

[Nuclear Fusion]

What is the best way to uninstall old graphics drivers? I've heard driver sweep can end up deleting important files, but is it not fine to just uninstall the drivers under device manager and reboot? I've heard AMD drivers leave stuff behind. I'm getting a 7950 today, so I assume I'll have to uninstall the 7950 drivers off my HDD again when my SSD arrives (since I'll be doing a fresh install on the SSD). Thanks

If you are doing a fresh install on a new SSD, then you will be doing a fresh install of AMD drivers. Don't let Automatic updates install your GPU drivers though.

Ok, so simply uninstalling the drivers through device manager and rebooting is fine?

Yeah, I just ran to the door because I heard a van and someone opening our front gate, only to realise it was just charity people collecting the bag of old shoes outside our door
