Removes a value from a specified key.

                                 CAUTION

       Deleting a value results in symbolic links not being
       followed. This is because the system deletes the value
       you specify, even if it has symbolic links.

    This command requires the SYSPRV privilege or the REG$UPDATE
    rights identifier.

    Format:

      DELETE VALUE  key-name value-name

    key-name

    Specifies the key name whose value should be removed.

    value-name

    Specifies the value to remove.

1  –  Qualifiers

1.1    /WAIT

    /WAIT=seconds (default = 90)
    /NOWAIT

    Specifies the maximum amount of time, in seconds, that you are
    willing to wait for command completion.  If the Registry server
    does not complete the request in the specified interval, REG$CP
    returns REG-F-NORESPONSE. The default interval is 90 seconds.
    /NOWAIT is equivalent to specifying /WAIT=0, but there may still
    be a short wait period.

1.2    /WRITEBEHIND

    /WRITEBEHIND
    /NOWRITEBEHIND (default)

    Specifies when the information can be written to disk.
    /WRITEBEHIND specifies that the information can be written to
    disk later. /NOWRITEBEHIND specifies write-through operation
    (that is, the information must be written to disk immediately).
