Driver Sweeper is a free tool that allows you to remove old drivers from your system in order to keep it in peak performance. Old drivers can cause problem such as instability, slow downs and startup problems. Driver Sweeper takes care of that by completely removing old drivers from your system.
To backup your drivers, you can use DriverBackup. And to keep your drivers updated, you can use RadarSync.
There are two ways to operate Driver Sweeper. Both of the methods will produce the same results and remove all the files on the driver.
First method is by using GUI. This is my preferred method. In this, you can simply select the drivers that you want to remove, and Driver Sweeper will take care of that.
Second option is by passing parameters while initiating Driver Sweeper. This method is good for Advanced Users.
