In my programs install/uninstall it shows my GMA driver taking 37.1gb of space. This is obviously a large amount of space for a driver. Can someone explain why this is and how to fix please? I've also listed some info about my computer if anything else is needed please let me know. I'm not a big IT guy so please help me by using simple terminology when answering. Thanks in advance.

I can see in my system most of the space used is because the driver includes the Software Development Kit - SDK. However, there is no option in the installer to remove this component. I would leave it as it is if it is not much of a concern and if the driver is working properly.

Another option could be installing the driver with the zip file installation method instead of using the exe installer.
