SOLVED Delete original folders of Driver Packages

[spiritedaway]

Hi everyone,
in our SCCM enviroiment we need to free up space on the partition dedicated to SCCM where folders containing drivers imported into driver packages are located. What happens if I delete these folders? For example, the folder dedicated to DELL drivers for model 7490 AIO (7490-win10-A15-3F3NX_Drivers) as shown in the screenshot. Can I cause problems with the package deployed in task sequence or are there no issues in completing this operation? Moreover, we create DELL drivers with the tool integrated in the console.

The folder marked as "Data source" in driver package:


The driver package:

if i'm not mistaken, if these drivers are not used in the boot image, then you can delete

What do you exactly mean "in boot image"? in task sequence or in the boot image on the usb key?

Software Library - Operating System - Boot Images - Boot image (x64) properties - drivers

Ok, I've checked the driver section in our boot image, there are a lot of drivers..how can i be sure to not delete drivers that are used?

Rename your drivers folder 7490-win10-A15-3F3NX_Drivers_ and run Software Library - Operating System - Boot Images - Boot image (x64) -right click - Update distribution points. Uncheck "reload this boot image with ...." - next next. If wizzard will complete successfully - You can delete the directory with drivers.
At this moment no one should install windows over the network (pxe)
