The cp2102 driver is on you PC and is used to talk to the ESP.

If you want to remove a driver you'll need to use Device Manager to uninstall the device.

To launch Device Manager, select the Start button, type Device Manager, and press Enter.

Then follow these steps:

1. Select the View menu and turn on Show Hidden Devices.

2. Expand the Ports node and right-select the device entry for the device you want to uninstall, and select Uninstall.

3. On the Confirm Device Removal dialog box, if you wish to remove the driver package in addition to uninstalling the device, select the Delete the driver software for this device option. When ready to complete the operation, select OK.
