Cleaning registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE possible?

[OneOfThree]

Hi guys,

 

I took a look at the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE) and I have found a lot of old software install folders of software I have uninstalled ages ago.

 

Would be great to clean that corner, too.

possible, indeed, and CC's reg cleaner should help.

but the performance boost, more than likely, will not even be discernible (unless there is an almighty amount).

 

there is normally little benefit in cleaning the registry other than a personal preference in having a tidy PC.

 

of course, backup that hive before proceeding...
