Default Uninstalling Printer Driver (Windows)

If I right-click on a printer icon and select "Remove device", will that
uninstall the driver(s)?

This is for Windows. Where are the driver files stored?

Thanks.

See Andrew's reply. That gets you to the place you can delete the drivers.

To total get rid of all the files and hopefully all the registry
entities look on the manufacture's support site for a cleaner or full
