python 删除windows注册表某个目录及其子项 亲测有效

基于winreg模块删除注册表及其子项

说明：网络上很多代码运行都报错，经测试，底下代码运行一切正常
python 要求3.0版本以上

import winreg
def deleteSubkey(key0, key1, key2=""):
    if key2=="":
        currentkey = key1
    else:
        currentkey = key1+ "\\" +key2

    open_key = winreg.OpenKey(key0, currentkey, 0, winreg.KEY_ALL_ACCESS)
    infokey = winreg.QueryInfoKey(open_key)
    for x in range(0, infokey[0]):
        #NOTE:: This code is to delete the key and all subkeys.
        #  If you just want to walk through them, then 
        #  you should pass x to EnumKey. subkey = winreg.EnumKey(open_key, x)
        #  Deleting the subkey will change the SubKey count used by EnumKey. 
        #  We must always pass 0 to EnumKey so we 
        #  always get back the new first SubKey.
        subkey = winreg.EnumKey(open_key, 0)
        try:
            winreg.DeleteKey(open_key, subkey)
            print("Removed %s\\%s " % (currentkey, subkey))
        except:
            deleteSubkey( key0, currentkey, subkey )
            # no extra delete here since each call 
            #to deleteSubkey will try to delete itself when its empty.

    winreg.DeleteKey(open_key,"")
    open_key.Close()
    print("Removed %s" % (currentkey))
    return

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # 删除注册表HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell下的test目录及其子项
    Parentkey = winreg.OpenKey(winreg.HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, r'*\\shell', 0, winreg.KEY_ALL_ACCESS)
    subkey = 'test'
    deleteSubkey(Parentkey,subkey,'')

pycharm 开发工具请以管理员身份运行，否则程序运行可能报“PermissionError: [WinError 5] 拒绝访问”错误

或者将该python脚本打包成exe文件后以管理员身份运行，打包方法参考
pyinstaller 将python脚本打包成exe文件

若想用户输入待删除的项目 python脚本可以这样写

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # 删除注册表HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell下的test目录及其子项
    Parentkey = winreg.OpenKey(winreg.HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, r'*\\shell', 0, winreg.KEY_ALL_ACCESS)
    subkey = input('please input the name of the project which you want to delete : ')
    # subkey = 'test'
    try:
        deleteSubkey(Parentkey,subkey,'')
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)
    os.system('pause')   # 可解决Python打包生成的exe运行完直接退出的问题
