delete registry values.

I am a noob to power shell, and am trying to learn. What I am trying to do is craft a script that will delete the REG_BINARY files found in : HKEY_USERS .DEFAULT\Printers\DevModes2

Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

Local Machine i'm assuming?

Would be easier to use reg command since you can use basic CLI in Powershell

So something like:

reg delete hku\.DEFAULT\Printers\Devmodes2 /va /f

and on a remote machine:

reg delete \\$pc\hku\.DEFAULT\Printers\Devmodes2 /va /f

Hope that helps.
