How can I clear deleted Favorites from registry?

Running Win XP Pro. I happened to notice that all my old, deleted Favorites
are still alive in my registry, together with legitimate current Favorites.

HKCU\software\microsoft\windows\current
version\explorer\menuorder\favorites\aaa etc (Favorites I deleted long ago)

The deleted items show as Type Reg_SZ, Value not set

I have tried several "registry cleaners" but none of them shows these values
as invalid paths.

Why does Windows hang on to such clutter? Would be nice to clean up this and
similar clutter in the registry. Anyone know how?
