Download the NVIDIA driver slimming utility, it is exactly as it says so you can trim down your NVIDIA driver install base.
As described by the programmer uKER , having trimmed NVIDIA drivers for as long as he can remember, the man decided to make a utility to help make the modification and installation process more bearable. Now, this idea has transformed into an easy to use utility usable for the general public. With the tool, you can select the many modules that form the driver, and select what you need and/or want to be installed. Once you hit apply, it deletes the modules the user didn't choose, and offers the option to install the driver. The app is in early staged and will likely see some updates and improvements. Hope you find it useful. Any bug reports and/or suggestions are welcome, you can check out the dedicated forum thread where the author is active.

The idea seems perfect, but every time I tried to delete something, even supposedly with modified drivers, the whole package kept deleting. Hope this will work, finally.

Yep this is great.
Its not immediately obvious what will happen and when, a quick tutorial:
When you run it a dialogue will open to select the driver.
This will unwrap in a temp folder, wait for it to finish.
Select what you want to add/remove and click apply.
You will be asked if you want to delete everything you dont want, click yes.
It will only then ask if you want to install the driver now, you can click no if you want to create the installer to use later.
You can view what is in the temp folder by clicking "Open folder".
Press "Repackage" to create a new ZFX packaged auto installer, it will prompt you where to save it.
