   Expand it and right click the instrument you applied the Zadig driver on and then select Uninstall device.
   In this example, it’s the Pro Guitar (Harmonix RB3 Mustang Guitar for PlayStation® 3).

   

3. In the next window that pops up, make sure to tick Attempt to remove the driver for this device.
