This is a Windows script which simply removes the unneeded stuff/bloatware from NVIDIA drivers package and creates a new archive.

Note that the resulting drivers have been tested on GTX 1060, GTX 1070 and MX 150 cards. If you own a newer card that needs other components to be included, please make a Pull Request.
- a) 7-Zip installed or b) 7za.exe in your
%PATH%, or in the same folder as this script - A recent Windows version; the script is only tested on Windows 10

slim-nvidia-drivers.bat NVIDIA_DRIVER_FILE.exe
Or just drag and drop the NVIDIA_DRIVER_FILE.exe on the bat file.
This will create two 7z archives, minimal and slim:
- "minimal" includes only the driver
- "slim" includes the driver, HDAudio and PhysX
