    Hi,
    I store settings of my Win app in registry:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Company\Product\Key1 = something
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Company\Product\Key2 = something
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Company\Product\Key2 = something

    Now I want to delete these records completely from registry. Is it possible to delete whole path HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Company in Qt ?

      I don't believe so.

      Now I want to delete these records completely from registry.

        i can't tell for sure that it works, but why not simply try it?

        QSettings("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Company", QSettings::NativeFormat).remove(".");
