    Is it Ok to Delete this Driver?

    Hi guys.. I want to get rid of drivers that are associated with samsung in Device Manager that are under the โ€˜Sound, video and game controllersโ€™ category. But in DriverStoreExplorer they appear as printer drivers with the same version# which make no sense. Let me know if its ok to delete it. Look at the screenshots:

    change the dropdown to Hardware id

        Those drivers belong to galaxy A9 Click On Me
        Why do you want to delete them?
        They do not takeup any space

          You mean the samsung A70 which is the phone I connect to the PC. I never owned the A9.
          I want to it them cuz it shows up as an exclamation point error in Device Manager.

            Might just be better to use autoruns and uncheck the driver, then reboot the machine; which stops it from loading with windows.
