   in case that a person not experienced in the registry is the one who deletes the keys therefore the situation is dangerous , because this person may delete a key which is responsible for important parts in the pc, but the registry programs which are assured like the one included in advanced system care are safe to use, because they work only on deleting the keys which are now not responsible for anything in the pc(like empty and obsolete keys)

   Not all of them are created equal. Two registry cleaners that I trust are CCleaner and Glary Utilities:

   http://www.glaryutilities.com/gu.html

   I haven’t had any problems with those two. I use them alternatingly once a week.

   yes, they can be. If you use one make sure to backup your registry just in case.

   Registry cleaners are like sharp knives. If you don’t know what you are doing, you can do a great deal of harm to your system. For most people, there is little benefit in using a registry cleaner.

   You could however download Ccleaner and use it to clean up temporary files, cookies and the like just using default settings and stay away from the registry cleaner part of the program.
