It seems that regchrome will not remove entries when some entries are removed from installed-chrome.txt. For example, I put ja-JP.jar and add the following entries to installed-chrome.txt. And run regchrome. locale,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/ja-JP.jar!/locale/ja-JP/necko/ locale,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/embed.jar!/locale/ja-JP/browser/ locale,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/ja-JP.jar!/locale/ja-JP/editor/ locale,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/ja-JP.jar!/locale/ja-JP/navigator/ locale,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/ja-JP.jar!/locale/ja-JP/communicator/ locale,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/ja-JP.jar!/locale/ja-JP/global/ locale,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/ja-JP.jar!/locale/ja-JP/messenger/ all-locales.rdf was updated properly. However, when I removed the ja-JP entries from installed-chrome.txt. regchrome did not removed the entries from all-locales.rdf. I'm not sure it's a bug or correct behavior of regchrome. Please advise.

this is as intended, regchrome causes the installed-chrome.txt to be processed and add the information to your chrome *.rdf files, it will not remove/uninstall items. In the meanwhile you can delete your *.rdf files and then use regchrome to regenerate brand new ones. hyatt: any plans to ever enable uninstalling chrome?

Thanks. Removing *.rdf files can be a reasonable workaround.

This is the correct behavior. installed-chrome.txt is just a useful hint to help register chrome at startup. The chrome registry already supports APIs for uninstalling chrome, and you should use those to perform a removal.
