What are you scanning the registry with that you see files or folders that don't exist? If you want to safely clean the registry, then use Microsoft's Live OneCare Cleanup Scan. Otherwise, leave the registry alone.

The best way is with a registry cleaner. Deleting things in the Registry manually can be very dangerous if you are not an expert computer user and fully understand the Registry. If you delete the wrong entry then Windows may not start again. Always backup the registry before attempting to do anything with it.

the file(s) in question have probably been manually deleted/removed. Your best bet is to somehow restore the program/files and remove them the proper way. But without knowing what program those folders/files belong to.. You could be very stuck.
