Trying to clean up my computer.

In the registry I came across a listing of all of my "Favorites" folders
that I had deleted long ago , such as camera or alaska.

HKCU\software\microsoft\windows\curent
version\explorer\menuOrder\favorites\alaska

If I run a Search for files like camera or alaska, nothing shows up, showing
that they are long gone.

Why does the Windows registry hang on to this useless clutter? How do I get
rid of it?
