Management tool for AMD drivers
AMD Cleanup Utility is a free utility that is being offered by AMD for PC devices. With this tool, users can easily manage support drivers from AMD, such as audio, display, and others. It helps remove outdated versions that are no longer needed, as well as any leftover files.
Just like with Intel and its Driver & Support Assistant program, AMD provides its users with a tool that they can use to clean up driver software that inevitably piles up on their PC with every new update or iteration. It also helps prevent any incompatibility issues from appearing.
What does it do exactly?
In a nutshell, the AMD Cleanup Utility helps you remove unnecessary and outdated driver software from your PC. Drivers are essential to ensure that PC hardware works properly. However, it doesn't take long for these programs to start piling up on your computer, using valuable storage space and some of them might not be relevant anymore. This is where the tool comes in to help.
Using this utility is simple and straightforward. It runs by itself and requires little input from you. The first thing it will ask is if you would like to boot into Safe Mode. It would be best to err on the side of caution, but you can opt to continue if you want. It will then remove various drivers, including one for audio, display, as well as the Radeon Software.
Once done, you will be given a prompt and an option to view a report of what happened. After that, you'll need to reboot to finish the process. Now, while this tool can come in handy, it's not compulsory to use if you don't want to. This is just an alternative method in case you have issues with removing drivers through Windows' default uninstallation procedure.
A handy tool to have if the need arises
If you're having problems removing outdated AMD drivers from your PC, then the AMD Cleanup Utility is a utility that can help you. It's a simple tool that you can use to remove all but the most essential driver software from your computer so you can install one of your choosing.
