How to Completely Remove Intel Graphics Driver and Related Services?

My recent new build used the CPU's internal Intel GPU for setup but I'm now using my NVidia RTX 2060 Super GPU. The Intel GPU is now disabled in the BIOS. I uninstalled the Intel GPU driver in Device Manager (shown as a hidden device) but residual Intel services remain and one cplspcon (Intel Content Protection HDCP Service) is causing errors in Event Viewer. I've disabled that in Autoruns, Is there a method or utility to completely remove all traces of the Intel GPU driver and all associated services?

Maybe this tool:
Display Driver Uninstaller Download version 18.0.6.4
I've used it, but only for nVidia drivers, so far.
That worked quite well removing all traces of the Intel driver and related services no longer needed. Marking solved. Wouldn't it be good if Intel did a better job engineering their software rather than relying on a third party utility?

It depends upon how you went about trying to remove the Intel software to begin with.
