Delete items in C:\ProgramData\Dell\drivers
Is it safe to delete folders/items under C:\ProgramData\Dell\drivers?
I only found topics with the same question from roughly 20 years ago so I though it might be good to bring this up again.
From what I understood it's a repository where Dell driver updates get de-compressed before they're installed and aren't being used afterwards anymore?

Hi
IMHO
Keep a Video/Graphics driver and a Wi-Fi/Network adapter driver somewhere safe, and the rest can probably be deleted, if they are just parked there.

In true Windows fashion, you will need the WIFI driver to get an Internet connection. After that Win-10 is real good at finding drivers. If you are doing a laptop, the OEM web site has what you need. For a home build you may need a couple of drivers for High end video cards or some specialty hardware.
