Drivers & Software

[aajum]

Hello everybody, i am really annoyed by this problem since I bought a AMD Graphics Card product, everytime I upgrade my AMD GPU it's created files and folders like in the picture below, i don't understand why and recently I just update to Driver 19.6.2 and the UI Animation in AMD Radeon Settings feels cluttering and delaying, it's not smooth, I have this problem before and i solve it by using AMD uninstall utility and install the latest driver but things just not getting better because the problem just comeback everytime I install a new driver version, I guess it's conflict with these files ??, I don't understand ??!! (I have to delete every old files contain the old version numbers in C:AMD everytime I check on it)

My system:

AMD RX 580

Windows 10 64bit version 1903

Radeon Software Crimson Edition 19.6.2

16GB RAM

To perform a 'clean install' of AMD graphics drivers:

1. Download and save the correct AMD driver. Do not use "automatically detect and install". Download Drivers

2. Download and save DDU https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

3. Disable All anti-virus/anti-malware/anti-anything

4. Delete the contents of the C:/AMD folder of all previous drivers

These are just the folders and files the installer use to decompress the radeon driver and software files for the installation, nothing to worry about. I do not know why AMD decided to not use a temporary folder like %temp%, probably because putting them directly in C:\ is easier to manage the installation process...

After the driver installation is complete you are free to delete those files and folders.
