I have like 4 different drivers saved for my GTX 280.
I want to wipe them ALL, and install the newest one.
How do i do this?

You can use a free program called Driver Sweeper, you can download it from Guru of 3D. Its great. First delete the drivers via the control Panel --> Programs and features. Then run Driver sweeper. This will make sure all drivers have been deleted, there is a problem with Nvdia drivers remaining in your system even after deleting via control panel.
Then reinstall latest drivers.
Hope this helps

Lolz just delete all the saved drivers. They are not installed on your PC, only 1 GPU driver can be installed at a time. The above posters didnt get it.
And well just download the latest driver and install it, you dont have to uninstall your current driver. It will be done automatically as you install the latest one.

Yes the GPU uses the new drivers, however, the old drivers still remain on the system, this can cause problems with nvidia card, this can cause problems. Run driver sweeper, it locates and lists all the drivers, you'll see.

He can just delete them directly from the nvidia folder.I am not sure though that those can actually cause any programs as they are just files, they are not installed. That's like saying that keeping installation files of older drivers can cause problems.
But maybe you are right, I just seem to have too much luck I guess in the case of GPU drivers as I never even uninstall them and never had an issue.
