how to Remove "open with Gitkraken" from context menu?

Question

I have a wasteful option left after uninstalling Gitkraken in windows 7 ultimate 64bit. I have tried many options like, in regidit i have searched in following places:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers] 
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\background\shell\git_gui]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\background\shell\git_shell]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Shell\git_gui]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Shell\git_shell]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\background\shell\git_gui]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\background\shell\git_shell]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\git_gui]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\git_shell]
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\OpenWithList
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

but i have got nothing related to git or git kraken so that i can remove that option.

It's worth noting that there are two items added to the context menu, one for each of the two right-click contexts. And as such, two entries exist in the Registry.

Context 1 - In the parent folder, when right-clicking on the folder icon of the repository: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\GitKraken

Context 2 - Within the repository folder, right-clicking on background white-space: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\GitKraken

I tend to use the second one more often, and there was a bug when I first installed the program. In order to fix this bug, change the last argument from %L to %V.

From:

"C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Local\gitkraken\update.exe" --processStart=gitkraken.exe --process-start-args="-p %L"

To:

"C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Local\gitkraken\update.exe" --processStart=gitkraken.exe --process-start-args="-p %V"

The entry is here on my machine:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\GitKraken

I'm not clear from the format of your list where you were actually checking, but that might be worth a look.

Entries in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell will also remove context menus when you right click a folder – Ernest Jan 11 '18 at 16:06

S-1-5-21-307178686-3694073347-4169164670-1001 should be related to your user

Sample

Here is my screenshot choose the one without the classes should be right.
