The driver store is located under C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository. Windows keeps a copy of every driver you install in a place called the Driver Store. It is located in “C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository”. Note: It is not suggested to delete drivers from the folder as deleting an incorrect driver might lead to instability and issues within PC.
