Delete old hardware drivers

I had an Intel cpu and a AMD GPU on my arch install, since some weeks I moved the ssd to my new rig that has an nvidia gpu and an AMD gpu, how can I remove the old drivers that I believe are causing some issues on certain emulation programs I'm trying to install as they say "CMake Error at hw/amdgpu/device/CMakeLists.txt:47 ".

I just want to try to remove old graphics drivers to see if it resolves the issue, last resort as always is reinstalling the system which would be a wise choice as the whole PC changed while the OS didn't.

I already tried to remove mesa, but pacman says

removing mesa-utils breaks dependency 'mesa-utils' required by kinfocenter

Re: Delete old hardware drivers

Unless you had xf86-video-intel installed, which you probably shouldn't have, there are no old drivers to uninstall.
