Registry Key Delete Error

I created a registry key by program,

computer/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/test

But I can't manually (programmatically) delete that key while deleting through manually. I get this registry error message,

cannot delete key: Error while deleting this key

How can I resolve this problem?

Solution

  • It's hard to be sure from your question, but if you try to delete a key that has subkeys, it will fail. Check into DeleteSubKeyTree.
