Can't get rid of drivers left by Paragon Free Backup
I have had a number of BSODs recently and at least one of them was caused by a driver called uimbus.sys, which turned out to be part of Paragon Free Backup. I had completely forgotten that I had installed this software, and since I wasn't using it, I had no hesitation in running the uninstaller, but after rebooting, when I was trying to set up Driver Verifier, I found that uimbus.sys and a number of other drivers that are part of Paragon Backup were still there. So I looked in my app settings and found that Paragon hadn't been installed after all. So I ran the uninstaller again, and this time Paragon finally left my list of installed apps, but after rebooting and starting to configure Driver Verifier again, I found that the Paragon drivers were still there. How can I get rid of this Paragon garbage? Is it enough simply to take ownership of the driver files and delete them, or do things need to change in the registry?
I am using Windows version 1909.
