Deleting all registry entries under an organisation

[Perdrix]

After porting my application to Qt, the registry entries for the older releases will not be appropriate, so I want to delete them

Is it possible to

QSettings settings("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Organisation", QSettings::NativeFormat);
settings.clear();

to delete everything under there?

This is the incantation that did the job:

QSettings ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Organisation",
QSettings::NativeFormat).remove("");
