Question as in title.

When I have various entries in the Registry to a type library, but the actual type library file is no longer on the system, is it safe to prune these entries from the Registry?

A: 

Sure, but why would you? There's no adverse effect to leaving them be, but if you make a mistake, you could have tough to diagnose problems down the road.

In general registry "cleaning" is completely unnecessary.

Factor Mystic
Well, mainly it would be for an addition to a small utility I wrote, mostly for my own learning. I'll further consider the pros and cons of it.
