Usually uninstalling the driver through device manager is sufficient. One in particular that was preventing me tuning on core isolation was wdcsam64_prewin8.sys, I removed it using device manager.
For particularly tenacious drivers that are difficult to remove by an other means I use DriverStoreExplorer.

I strongly suggest a free utility called Driver Store Explorer (aka RAPR). It was suggested to me on TenForums years ago and has become one of my favorite utilities. Go here to download:
github.com
Scroll down to "Releases" for the download.
This utility requires no installation. Just unzip and run.
You can select a driver and then click on "DeleteDriver(s)". If it won't delete, this indicates that it is a driver likely in use by your system. However, you have the option to forcibly uninstall it.
NOTE: If you are going the route of forcibly uninstalling it, I would suggest one of two actions first:
1) Make sure you have a current disk image backup "just in case" the removal of this driver causes a problem.
2) Make a backup of all your drivers first. It's easy. Just run these two commands:
You will have a backup of all of your drivers which you can easily use to restore the removed driver if deleting that driver causes any difficulties.
Edit: Adding a screenshot to show what this util looks like.
Edit 2: Apologies for all the edits. You may have noticed in the above screenshot that I have a lot of duplicate drivers. I was able to delete all duplicates with two clicks. Just click on "Select Old Driver(s)" and then on "Delete Driver(s)". Poof. Old drivers are gone. Helps to keep your driver store nice and clean
. Here what mine looks like after doing that:

I find it weird that everyone is asking @sabijeris to remove this driver, without learning first which driver is it. Sometimes you're stuck because there is NO updated driver (because it's too old) which can pass the driver verification check.

I don’t think anyone is asking the member to remove it.
The member asked how to remove it, members are offering a process.
The only thing I’d tell the OP to do, would be to make a system backup before they do anything at all.

I wonder whether "sabijeris" still has that .inf installed, or if it's retained in the Driver Store.
If it's the latter, getting rid of it will be more difficult than it should be.
I've used Driver Store Explorer in the past, but I didn't find its use to be very intuitive.
