One is I believe you think the blue swirlie "working" thingie is avoidable. I suspect you are having a couple issues. as long as their presence is not causing any conflicts. I personally would not concern myself with stuff I found in files, I doubt a few thousand "drivers" add up to more than a mb or so. I note in my mouse driver there are not any files with duplicate names or paths. I am going to imagine you may only be succeeding in making copies.Ī driver it seems is in reality a package of software. So, depending on how exactly and from where you attempt to "remove" these drivers that you seem to have a vendetta against, If the hardware is branded, personally I would start with the mfg. Then there is the possibility that the hardware is the issue. if the simple update option is not working proper you may have to dig deeper as in permissions /admin / settings to see the hidden things and sort about. If a device is not happy you can start with checking for conflicts andor properties note which of the many available drivers the one the device is actually using and research if there is a better choice. and finally, you may have hardware that requires or benefits from drivers that may be acquired manually. Then, on "plug and play" operating systems like windows, the OS will detect specific hardware and install the drivers it believes is best and actually most often does a fair job of it. Then, you have an Operating System that also will have generic input and display drivers, often imbedded in the root or kernel that the OS utilizes so you can interface before brand specific drivers are installed and generally, least in my experience, you would have to be in the prompt to access or alter these, I suspect its best not to unless you have a specific reason. If you were to pitch your hard drive in a river and get a shiny new one, you would be able to use your input and monitor via drivers that are in the bios, these drivers are generic and work before there is an operating system that manages storage that allocates space for, and the ability to use, hardware brand specific drivers. for your keyboard, mouse and monitor there is actually more drivers than you may be aware of and in different places. I know a little about hardware and drivers. So, what I know of mice is vast and have a story about "mice in the boat"
