Highlight the key in the registry editor and press Delete.

Are you sure you want to ? Do you understand what you are about to do ?

Why and which? As for the Service subkeys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

This often won't work unless you set the
permissions on the key properly.

that's probably why the question was asked.

But you are 100% correct, you should NOT blindly
delete the LEGACY keys...
