Because there is no such function or method.
The three existing function methods are:
    WshShell.RegDelete
    WshShell.RegWrite
    WshShell.RegRead

how can I do?
Yes you can. But that subkey must be empty; it can not contain other subkeys. You must remove the lowest subkey first and working your way up the tree, if you want to keep on using those build-in registry object functions.

Also, specify a key-name by ending the string with a final backslash and leave the final backslash off to specify a value-name.

eg:
this will remove the value 'MindReader':
WshShell.RegDelete("HKCU\\Software\\ACME\\FortuneTeller\\MindReader");

this will remove the key 'FortuneTeller':
WshShell.RegDelete("HKCU\\Software\\ACME\\FortuneTeller\\");

All this is also explained in the Windows Scripting documentation which you can download from the Official Script Database.

Otherwise, use the Windows API directly like Matikke showed.
