Cleaning a directory of temporary Windows 10 drivers?

Good day friends.
There was a problem with free disk space. I use an 80GB ssd for the OS and important programs. And it so happened that for some period of using windows 10, the folder with the Windows directory expanded to 40GB.

I wondered what was taking up so much space there. As it turned out, about 15GB is occupied by the C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore folder.

In it, 09/26/2016. after the next update, 38 folders were formed with the prefix nv (tobish nvidia) with a total weight of almost 14GB.

Actually, having selected them all and tried to delete them, I did not achieve success. Therefore, I decided to turn here with the following question - how to remove them? and what are the risks (I myself assume that the only risk is reinstalling the card drivers, but you never know)?

It became interesting to me how much space occupies 10. Surprisingly little.
Try Disk Cleanup, but not just, but with cleaning up system files.
