Maybe a little late, but I think you’ll want to add a row to the Registry table (you can find this under the Direct Editor view in InstallShield). This will allow you to specify registries which will be deleted during the RemoveRegistryValues action.
For more information about this table, you can look here:

Alternatively, you could write a custom action to run on uninstall and use InstallScript to delete it. You can find an example of this here:

Hope this helps!
