Windows 10: File keeps reappearing even after deletion in the system registry

I was working with the system registry, trying to solve a problem by deleting a particular file, however the problem persisted so when i checked the registry again, the file was still in place after its deletion. I deleted it again but the problem still continued even after repeating the process multiple times. Is there any solution for this?

How do I delete registry files?

I have some programs which I deleted from "Add/Remove Programs" and I want to make sure they are deleted... where do I go to delete these files in my registry?

Also, I know there is a website where you can type in the name of programs running in the registry files to check if they are legitimate... where can I check my programs?

Thanks for any help!
