reg delete falhou

Error message

reg delete falhou: {}

What it means

The Windows `reg delete` command (with /ve, /v, and /f as appropriate) exited non-zero; the {} is reg.exe's stderr. Fired from reg_delete, which fix uses to remove registry values — typically the key path is malformed, inaccessible without elevation, or reg.exe refused the forced delete.

Solutions

1. Check the exact key path and value name for typos or wrong HKCU/HKLM hive
2. Run the application as administrator when deleting from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3. Test the equivalent `reg delete <key> /f` in a terminal to see the raw error
