It could be important if you suspect that a device driver is causing problems.
About once each decade I've had to remove such errant device drivers to fix a Windows PC problem. But I've never bothered with 'cleaning' device drivers that are not currently used because most of those drivers are for removable USB devices that will probably be reconnected and therefore reinstalled again.
You can manually uninstall unused drivers but by default Device Manager does not show all installed device drivers.

Rs-cv0c Data Device Port Devices Driver

The update may have impacted the ability of the virtual serial port drivers for certain devices to load by default. This poses a significant issue when you are trying to use these devices. First, we will investigate the use of Eltima Software’s Virtual Serial Port Driver to add Windows 10 virtual serial ports.

  1. The device tree can also provide RS485 boot time parameters (see 2 for bindings). The driver is in charge of filling this data structure from the values given by the device tree. Any driver for devices capable of working both as RS232 and RS485 should implement the rs485config callback in the uartport structure.
  2. These are explained in detail in later sections. The Infrared (IR) Port is located at the top of the unit above the display where it says “Data Port.” Refer to figure 2 on page 5 for a detailed view. When transferring data to the door controller aim the Infrared (IR) Port on the DTD at the Infrared (IR) Port on the door controller.
  3. The device does not have a device driver: When a device driver for a device is not available, Device Manager displays the device as Unknown Device and puts it in the Other devices branch. This is very common with universal serial bus (USB) and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE) 1394 composite devices.
