Discussion
The registry provider lets you remove items and containers with the RemoveItem cmdlet. The RemoveItem cmdlet has the standard aliases rm, rmdir, del, erase, and rd.
As always, use caution when changing information in the registry. Deleting or changing the wrong item can easily render your system unbootable.
As in the filesystem, the RemoveItem cmdlet lets you specify multiple files through its Path, Include, Exclude, and Filter parameters.
