How do I delete the registry on a Windows Service?

Elastic Stack Beats

While developing my Filebeat fed pipelines, I find a need to delete the Filebeat registry from time to time to force a re-read of all the data.
When I was running Filebeat from the command line it was easy, there is a 'data' directory that contains the registry and I can just remove that, forcing a re-read by Filebeat

I do not see a 'data' directory in my install that runs as a Windows service. Where is the registry when running as a Windows service?

Thanks

Never mind, found it.
C:\ProgramData\filebeat\registry
