4 Uninstalling FTDI Devices
The FTDI utility CDM Uninstaller can be used to remove FTDI drivers from the Windows 10 PC. The
utility is available on the FTDI website.
Alternately devices can be removed using the Device Manager by simply right-clicking on the
mouse and selecting "Uninstall". This will delete the associated registry entries for that device
only. Windows 10 provides an automatic method to delete driver files via a check box to "Delete
the driver software for this device" on the uninstall dialog box.

This stage is done twice. Once for the device under Ports (COM & LPT) and the next time for the
device under Universal Serial Bus Controllers as shown in Figure 4.1 and Figure 4.2.
