I suppose you're using the "Persistent Driver" option. Disabling it (default) should not leave drivers in system.

I know that, but I can't use "Remove" button to delete the old driver files.
Use "Remove" button just remove some related registry, those files still stay in machine.

Yes, that removes the current driver only. Uninstaller and Automatic Update will do that too.
