NativeServices.RegistryDeleteUserValues

Method	RegistryDeleteUserValues
Module	NativeServices
Library	Core
Action	Deletes a given value for every user under HKU.
Parameters	`Subkey` (string): The registry key to look for. `Name` (string): The name of the registry value that requires deletion.
Return values	For each user: `Status` (string): The deletion status of the value. "`Deleted value`" if it has been deleted, else "`Key does not exist`" if there is no such containing key. `Sid` (string): SID the value was found under. `Username` (string): Domain\Username of the aforementioned SID. No result is returned for users that did not have the value (so it could not be deleted) but did have the parent key. Prior to v4.2 the "`Key does not exist`" status was "`Value does not exist`" which was true but not as accurate.
Example	NativeServices.RegistryDeleteUserValues(Subkey:"somethingSpecific", Name:"value12");
Platforms	Windows
Notes	This will delete the value for every user. Use with caution! Unlike most registry methods, the 8192 limit is not imposed because doing so would leave the system in an inconsistent state (some users would have the value deleted, others not), and in practice it is highly unlikely that any system would have that many users. If information is retrieved from the `.DEFAULT` key or a `_Classes` key, the `Username` will be reported as "`Unknown`". It is possible to determine the owner of a `_Classes` key from the SID that precedes it (which will have a correct `Username`). Warning This method may attempt to call AD to translate a SID to a username. No output is returned for users for whom the value does not exist, i.e. only values that were actually deleted are reported.
