Try to just uninstall the BESR from Control panel ... this will remove those entries too...

Also ensure that you reboot the server after this.

You could simply delete the files and use the MSIZAP utilitly to get rid of the windows installer information in the registry.

Thanks for the suggestion 

exchange server database is installed in this server , and its a cluster member ,

would you suggest something which is not affecting the cluster or exchange

If you remove the information for BESR why should this interfere with the cluster or with exchange ?
