Abstract
An object of the present invention is to prevent an unnecessary external file created by a printer driver from continuing to remain even in the case where processing unique to a vendor cannot be performed at the time of uninstallation of the printer driver. The present invention is an information processing apparatus installed with a driver that creates data for image formation and has a render filter that saves the created data in a storage area that is not deleted at the time of uninstallation of the driver, the apparatus including: a saving unit configured to read the data saved in the storage area and to save the data in a temporary storage area that is deleted at the time of uninstallation of the driver; and a deletion unit configured to delete the data from the storage area after the data is saved in the temporary storage area.
