There were about 20 lines vboxguest.inf in a Virtualbox guest OS (Windows 11 Insider).
None were checkmarked after pressing Select Old Driver(s) button, but successfully purged after manual selection.

Do you have a log file shows the details of those drivers?
The "old drivers" detection is a best effort. Different version of drivers may diff in the driver name etc, which the current detection logic can not categorize them as the same driver.

Conveniently, next version was released today.
There are only three kinds of drivers: display, printers and system devices. Old display and printer drivers were detected, system devices in question were not. The log shows nothing of interest, only what was detected.

Only one line was different in 3 versions of vboxguest.inf files:

DriverVer = 07/10/2023,7.0.9.8223 ; r158223
DriverVer = 07/12/2023,7.0.10.8379 ; r158379
DriverVer = 10/12/2023,7.0.12.9484 ; r159484

If you need a deeper look at the driver files, VBoxGuestAdditions.iso of various versions could be downloaded from VirtualBox site and unpacked with 7zip - no need to install.
