Remove Section in a Network INF File

Remove sections are supported for NetClient, NetTrans, and NetService components but not for Net components (adapters).

Note  NetClient components are deprecated in Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, and later.

The network class installer does not keep track of adapter instances. A Remove section that removes files that are shared by other adapters or by multiple instances of an adapter could render those adapters or adapter instances inoperative. If it is necessary to remove a driver file that is used by a Net component, use a co-installer that keeps track of all drivers that are using the file. Such a co-installer should also track multiple instances of the same device, as well as drivers for multiple devices. For more information about co-installers, see Creating an INF File.
