Hello, thanks for this amazing program. I'm all up to date and I wondered if I could delete the contents of the drivers folder?

Sure. You might consider setting Windows to not install drivers in the future.

To stop Windows installing drivers:

Settings

Search for "View advanced system settings" (it doesn't seem to be visible as an option)

Hardware page

Device Installation settings

Select "No"
