The Disk Cleanup utility built into Windows doesn't remove registry keys.
You ran something else and/or did more than just run Disk Cleanup. If
whatever you used has an Undo feature, use it. Otherwise try a System
Restore to a date when things worked.

No. UNLESS you used its registry cleaner. That utility is not very
aggressive, but maybe you learned otherwise.
