Using regedit
A quick and hopefully simple query
I was cleaning an old machine the other day and was using Revo free but then found that programs were still listed in Programs, and in the "Computer" program lists.
Now I opened regedit out of curiosity and found that some of the "deleted" apps were still listed in the reg. An old installation entry of an Epson printer was one that comes to mind.
Now just for an example in the pic I have picked out the Canon entries and what I want to know is if I delete the total Canon entry will it take out all the sub entries and also will it affect the system or OS in any way.
I only want to know if I can do this for named apps that I want removed via this method and have no intention of going anywhere near the system, OS or entries I have no idea about when doing this.
