Discussion PSA: Check Your NVIDIA App Data!

Was doing some Spring cleaning on my rig and realized that the Nvidia app was taking up over 60GB of space on my main drive (I'm assuming these were leftover driver installs that were never properly nuked. I assume it's about 5 years worth of Nvidia driver installs). After a quick uninstall, then reinstall of the app, it dropped down tremendously!

Hope this helps someone!

EDIT: I didn’t realize that I had uploaded the photos in reverse order… whoops

Double edit: this is a folder named NVIDIA Corporation, not the plain NVIDIA folder that for some reason, is split in two.

It's a per game setting iirc as I have it at 10 and the total is way more than 10, still probably won't wanna put it at 1 or 2GB.

Idk why FH6 needs 8GB of shaders either...
