Hi Jan!

The .tdb files contain information about the installed files.
Samba doesn't have a "self-cleaning" function for tdbs. So you'd better 
delete at least ntdrivers.tdb, ntprinters.tdb and ntforms.tdb.

But you haven't mentioned, what exactly the problem is. Uploading new 
drivers shouldn't be affected be deleting the old driver files...

Bye,

Martin
