Find registry key by value and delete it

I want to search for a registry key and delete that key. I know the value of the key and the path, but not the name.
Open REG_SZ /R "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice15LibraryAnalysisANALYS32.XLL"
Open1 REG_SZ "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice15LibrarySOLVERSOLVER.XLAM"
Open2 REG_SZ "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice15LibraryEUROTOOL.XLAM"
So the value is "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice15LibraryEUROTOOL.XLAM" and on this host the name is Open2 but the name can change from host to host.
I tried it with Get-Item, but unfortunately I didn't get anywhere with that.

You might read the registry key withget-childitemand properties withget-itemproperty. If you want to enable/disable Addins in Office I'd better go that way...

if you know the exact key with the property values , then you can find the name by using this snippet:
$keypath = "HKLM:SOFTWAREfolder"
$properties = Get-ItemProperty $keypath
foreach ($property in $properties.psobject.properties) {
if($property.value -eq "value that you want to match with"){
"Removing property $property"
Remove-ItemProperty -Name $property.name -Path $keypath
}
}
