wshshell.regdelete function ... delete only reg key without sub keys...
HKCU\software\key1
but this will not be successive if there is some sub hives HKCU\Software\Key1\Subkey1
So you can instead use
WshShell.run "Reg Delete " & key1 & " /f"
HKCU\software\key1
but this will not be successive if there is some sub hives HKCU\Software\Key1\Subkey1

WshShell.run "Reg Delete " & key1 & " /f"

The OP was asking about deleting a registry *value*, not a key or sub-keys.
@OP, is there some reason why you are unable to use a search engine? There must be millions upon millions of examples out there. My favourite VBScript reference source is devguru.com.

@ MK thank you, the script you gave in another forum also worked.
in the mean time i tried this non standard script and did the work for me.
dim wsh
set wsh = createobject("WScript.Shell")
wsh.run("REG.EXE DELETE ""HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ABC DEF\XYZ"" /v ABC_DEF /f")
set wsh = nothing
