How to Delete a Windows Driver from Configuration Manager
You delete a Windows driver from the operating system deployment driver catalog, in Configuration Manager, by deleting its SMS_Driver Server WMI Class object. When you delete a driver, its definition is deleted, and it is no longer matched by the apply driver action task sequences. However, if the content associated with the driver was added to a driver package, or if the driver was added to a boot image package, the content remains there until the packages are updated.
