Delete a "Machine Data Source" from Access

S

I'd like to delete/remove some Machine Data Sources (DSN) I used while
testing out SQL Express. I've tried to google it but I can't seem to find
anything on how to remove them once they've been added. I checked the
registry but, again, I couldn't really find where Access is storing the lists
of DSNs.

Any ideas on how to manually remove them? No code, please, I'm hoping I can
just manually remove entries from some file or the registry.

Thanks in advance.

Machine Data Sources should be under HKLM\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI

User Data Sources should be under HKCU\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI
