How to clean the USBSTOR and USB folders in the Windows 7 registry?

Windows, when an unknown USB flash drive is connected, starts the process of installing new hardware for the found USB device. Installation takes some time, after which the flash drive is defined as an external USB drive and becomes visible in Windows Explorer (My Computer). When you reconnect the flash drive to the computer, it is already correctly recognized by the system and immediately appears in the root of the "My Computer" explorer.
All information about any USB media ever connected to a computer is stored in the system registry . If a lot of flash drives of different models and manufacturers are connected to the computer, then over time a lot of garbage accumulates in the registry. As a result, the process of detecting and connecting a new device begins to take considerable time and slows down the system.
Exit one. It is necessary to periodically clean the registry keys that store data about connected flash drives and other USB drives. Cleaning these partitions will speed up the connection of new USB devices and the operation of the system as a whole.
Programs Regedit, USBDeView, RegClean did not help.

To be honest, I do not see a direct relationship between the performance and speed of installing new USB devices in Windows on the number of USB drives connected before, but the solution to the author's problem is in the USBOblivion program . It cleans it in the registry and only USB media.
