given the com class name eg. someunwantedClass, how would one proceed to
remove completely from the registry? is there a tool for this task?
removing from filesystem is easy enough with searches.

use the reg32svr /u directive at the command prompt

yup, it should. It got placed there by a regsvr32 /i, so /u is the opposite.
