Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

Remove the printers as follows:

1. Press "Windows + I" to open Settings;
2. Go to "Bluetooth & devices", then click "Printers & scanners";
3. Click on a printer listed there, then click "Remove";
4. Repeat this for every printer in the list, including default ones like "Microsoft Print to PDF".

If Windows automatically reinstalls any printer, let me know so I can give you an alternative.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
