Unable to remove registy keys during uninstall in WIX Installer

The registry key values are not removing during uninstall the MSI.

Below is the code sample to add values to registry. I am using NeverOverwrite ="yes" Permanent="yes" options for component because the registry values should not override during upgrade.

<Component Id="DFService_Registry" Guid="B4F1008F-1CF2-4170-94A5-2466AB15E145" Win64="yes" Directory="DFServicesDir" NeverOverwrite ="yes" Permanent="yes">

      <Condition><![CDATA[INSTALL_DFSERVICES=1 AND (NOT OLDER_VERSION_FOUND)]]></Condition>
      <!--Win64="yes"-->
      <RegistryKey Root="HKLM" Key='SOFTWARE\VALUEMOMENTUM\DEALFOUNDRY\DealFoundryServices' Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall">
        <RegistryValue Type="string" Name="DfServicesInstalled" Value="Yes">
          <![CDATA[NOT OLDER_VERSION_FOUND]]>
        </RegistryValue>
        <RegistryValue Type="string" Name="DfServicesWebApplicationName" Value="[DFSERVICES_WEBAPPLICATIONNAME]">
          <![CDATA[NOT OLDER_VERSION_FOUND]]>
        </RegistryValue>
        <RegistryValue Type="string" Name="DfServicesPortNumber" Value="[DFSERVICES_PORTNUMBER]">
          <![CDATA[NOT OLDER_VERSION_FOUND]]>
        </RegistryValue>
        <RegistryValue Type="string" Name="DfServicesInstallDir" Value="[INSTALLDFSERVICES_DIR]">
          <![CDATA[NOT OLDER_VERSION_FOUND]]>
        </RegistryValue>
      </RegistryKey>

    </Component>

Please help me.

With the setting permanent="yes" the registrykeys will not deleted during uninstallation. Use permanent="No".
