Dear Forum,
Can I safely delete these three folders?
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\brotherhl_5240_serie5c5c
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\hpdeskjet_5550a851
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\hppsc_1400_series22d9
And what is this folder? It appears to have some of the drivers from the folders above in it.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3
Any help would be gratefully appreciated!
Best regards,

Do you have that printers? Did you have in the past?
Better than direct deleting the C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\ subdirectories, I suggest you uninstall the printers.
The same for C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3 folder.

Hi Tech,
I had those printers in the past. I don’t use them anymore. So I have uninstalled them.
However, these folders still exist.
I took a risk and deleted these ones.My computer booted fine after deleting them.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\brotherhl_5240_serie5c5c
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\hpdeskjet_5550a851
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\hppsc_1400_series22d9
However, I am unsure if I am able to delete this one:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3
Your advise or suggestions would be much appreciated!
Thanks,

As far I know it can be deleted to. I’ve done in the past and then install the proper printers again. It worked… but I can’t be completely sure.
