Uninstalling Drivers

Hi,
I need to install and uninstall device drivers programatically.

I could register the .inf available. This helped in installing the drivers without the prompt for installation disc.

However, I'm not able to find as to how these drivers can be uninstalled. I could remove the inf & pnf files created but the entry in the Device manager continues to be there which suggests that drivers are unregistered but not uninstalled.

Can somebody please help me completely remove the drivers ?

Regards,
