Dell Inspiron 15R N5110 with clean Windows 10 install. I had a problem with drivers for an Alfa Wi-Fi device, tried alternative Alfa devices and drivers, then settled on one from TP-Link.
I would like to make sure I have removed all the drivers I tried, is there a way to purge them?
From elevated cmd prompt pnputil -e > %userprofile%\desktop\drivers.txt will list all third party drivers to file drivers.txt on your desktop. Looks something like thisYou can then use pnputil -d oemnn.inf to remove them (replacing nn with relevant number.Code:Published name : oem13.inf Driver package provider : Apple Inc.

Alternatively you can use DriverStore Explorer - Home which does the same thing.
