Hey guys, I'm freeing up some space on my hard drive and I found out that I have an Nvidia folder and inside are some drivers like 310.90, 313.96, 320.49 and so on, can I delete them or leave them there?

yes, you can delete them.

 

every time you download new drivers, all data is beeing unpacked to the C:\Nvidia folder and installed from there. So its essentially just a kind of cache between the downloaded file and driver installation.

 

I just normally keep the latest non-beta drvers in case beta doesnt work properly, so I dont need to download and unpack it again.

Ok, so delete pretty much all except latest one?
