Flashcopy Manager 4.1.6 for Windows does not cleanup volumes in registry after successfull snapshot

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

On Windows 2008 R2 SP1, with SQL 2012 SP4. When using Flashcopy manager 4.1.6 to take snapshots to an v7000 storwize of the databases with IBM hardware provider 4.15.
using BA client 7.1.8.2 and TDP 7.1.6.0.
Every snapshot made is filling up the windows registry with orphan volumes and over time you not able to execute any more snapshots since windows system registry is filled up. Microsoft recommend to use devnodecleanup.exe tool to cleanup orphan volumes so we again can execute snapshots from flashcopy manager - anther downside with filling up the registry is that logon to server after boot is getting slower and slower (about 10-15min) in welcome screen since windows need to read all the volumes in registry.
PMR case: TS001088698 - not able to insert this into the template

    This request may not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme is aligned with the current multi-year strategy. IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting. IBM will update this request in the future.

    Until a resolution is provided, consider using a recommendation from Microsoft to use the devnodecleanup.exe tool to cleanup orphan volumes.
