Using PowerShell to delete unused drivers.
Run the following PowerShell script on your smartImager server to delete all unused drivers.
This will delete all drivers which are not in a driver pack. To delete a Driver Pack, open your smartImager console and go to Components | Driver Packs and delete a driver pack by clicking on the name of the driver pack and choosing the delete (trash can) icon.
NOTE: This script can be run in "logging mode only" by changing both variables on top to "false".
Example:
$bolDeleteConfigurations = $false
$bolDeleteData = $false
Copy/Paste the following code into your PowerShell ISE on your smartImager server to run.
# *************************
# *************************
$bolDeleteConfigurations = $true #delete the item from the smartImager configuration
$bolDeleteData = $true #delete the folder and files from the server
