Unable to Delete Reg Entry

The following registry entry is invalid, as it points to a file that is no
longer available, however, I cannot delete it, even when I go into safe mode
administrator account...this is probably not hurting my system in any way,
but because of sick curiosity, why can't I delete this???

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{1171A62F-05D2-11D1-83FC-00A0C9089C5A}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{1171A62F-05D2-11D1-83FC-00A0C9089C5A}\InprocServer32
Default C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9b.ocx
Threading Model Apartment
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{1171A62F-05D2-11D1-83FC-00A0C9089C5A}\Programmable
Default REG_SZ (Value Not Set)

The file in the directory C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\ is now
Flash9e.ocx and the entry is not needed any more. Everytime I try to delete
this I get an error. Any Ideas much appreciated.

Thank you!

Unregister the OCX files of all old versions of Flash.

example:
regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\Macromed\Flash\flash_FILE.ocx
