Very specific GPU driver question

Specs: i3 10100, RX 6600, 500 GB crucial SSD, 600w PSU, Gigabyte B460M DS3H and 16 GB ram.

 

I recently upgraded from a GTX 1050ti to an RX 6600. Before installing the new card, I went into control panel and uninstalled the Nvidia drivers that way instead of using DDU. As a result of this method of uninstallation, I now have some leftover files on my PC that occasionally crash my GPU. To my knowledge, DDU is meant to be used while the drivers you want to uninstall are still on your computer, and with your old card installed. Would it be possible to use DDU to get rid of all Nvidia driver leftovers without having a Nvidia card actually in my PC? Specifics would be appreciated.

Yes - just following the instructions in DDU and do SafeBoot and then remove both AMD and Nvidia drivers, then reinstall the ones you want.

Jayz2cents has a video on the specific process about 4-6 months ago i think.   You also want to turn off the windows auto-install of driver -- so that you get the opportunity to install the one you want

So wipe everything and then reinstall drivers?
