A faster way to test your channels is to create an app that just deletes all the reg keys, run that and no reboot needed.
For anyone looking for such a channel, here is some code I wrote that does just that.
You can dump the entire registry contents on an roTextScreen, wipe the entire registry clean, or delete individual registry sections.
This prints only the registry from the space where you side loaded your app with the same device ID with which you pushed this Test Code.
It doesn't seem to print all registry values of all applications in the box.

A factory default/reset from the settings menu 'should' clear the registry, as well as everything else and it automatically reboots for you too.

There is no way to do that. That would be a huge security hole if you could, as many channels store authentication information in the registry.

Re: Registry not Cleared if App is deleted
"Separation of church and state", separation of concerns.
Each app gets its own sandbox to play in. Other apps data belongs to them (see "Nunya Business Inc"
).
iOS and Android are even more restrictive (1 app <-> 1 data), where on Roku one can have "constellation" of apps signed by the same dev-key so they can share data, if one so pleases.

Re: Registry not Cleared if App is deleted
I even tried doing a factory reset, and it seems this data has still persisted. I am using the new Roku SG framework, and I am trying to programmatically delete data in my app when a user logs out, with the deleteRegistry sub Function in generalUtilities (it uses Delete(key)).
Does anyone know why even after a factory reset it still appears as if I am logged in?!?

That's not really possible with channel-created data, unless the channel itself is creating it on its initial launch.
