No you dont. Even if you really want to, the built in uninstaller should suffice just fine.
 
Yes drive sweeper works and not reason not to use it..one less member complaining about strange issues with new drivers :)
 
Unless there's a problem or you want the HDD space why does one need a driver cleaner?

I used it when I swapped from Nvidia over to ATI. (Highly recommended to help avoid driver conflict issues.) I just use the default uninstaller before driver updates otherwise.
 
I just install right over the old one. Done that like 10 times now. Never a single issue.

Mis information gets spread to newbies to easily on the internet.

The driver installation programs of today are generally intelligent enough to remove all associated files when installing a new driver set. A few years back this was not the case. The only time you might need to use one of those driver cleaning programs is from installing a beta driver set.
