Having issues removing a specific Registry key using GPO Preferences

group-policywindows-registry

Hello I attempting to remove the following registry key using GPO Preferences:

SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}

The key just wont delete.
I have the following Registry preferences:

Action: Delete

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Key Path:
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}

Value name is blank
Default is unchecked.

Is there something simple that I'm forgetting?

Finish your Key Path value with a '\' :

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

Key Path: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}\
