First press (winkey+R) in the same time.

A small window will show, write in it (regedit).

Press OK now the page of registry will be opened.

Choose from the head of page (edit)

Choose (find), and write the program name

One right click and delete.

Your post seems to refer to a problem faced rather than a general solution (from the title).

General solution: Use Add/remove panel

If "general solution" does not clean up properly, then your approach is one way to it.

But using regedit->find is generally slow

Some quick alternative tools:

MyUninstaller

RegScanner

Perhaps ccleaner can also scan for registry problem inlcuding thing like that.

Some other utilities also can do it like Revo uninstaller

Edit: fix hyperlink
