Here is a link to gain a better understanding of where and how they are listed. USB section is about halfway down the page.

Then navigate to the key(s) (listed in the link I gave) right click it and select delete.
The normal caveats apply to editing the Registry (doesn't hurt to export that entire key string to the desktop until after you have verified operability).
Just out of curiosity what are you hoping to accomplish by deleting the list?

I tried deleting it with regedit, but it doesn't get deleted. It gives an error that "Cannot delete xyz : Error while deleting"
The reason I want to delete them is because my company is paranoid about USB drives and pen drives. They are absolutely banned. All data transfer is supposed to be through network, floppes or CDs. Since network is down, and there is only 1 CD-RW drive in my office, pen drive is the only viable solution for copying presentations and other stuff from 1 comp to another. So I enabled the USB drives from Device Manger and was using the pen-drives to transfer the data.
Now there is an inspection team coming and I don't wanna get caught.

Normally on a non-corporate system i would give advice along these lines;
Right-click the key and chose Permissions. Use the Advanced button - Ownership and take ownership.
Otherwise - http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/
On a corporate computer, I would have suggested to not bypass controls and seek an alternative solution from IT. ;-)
