I recently noticed just how much left-over rubbish there is in my
system's registry. It's 6 years old, never cleanly reinstalled, never
treated with snake-oil.
I'm not aware of any problem with it; no slow-down detected.
I used regedit, exported it, checked file size and it's 273 MB.

How does this compare with other users? I'd like to know.



Because access to the registry is random, that left-over rubbish
doesn't really hurt you.

Also note that in these days of a 1TB drive costing $50 US or so,
273MB is a tiny amount. It's a little more than a penny's worth of
disk space.
