That registry is local to your user's account. :)
You can simply delete it instead of reinstalling packages:

  rm $HOME/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry*

The next time a GStreamer1 based program is run, the registry will be
recreated. Alternatively, there are the command-line tools that trigger
a rebuild of the registry too, e.g. gst-inspect-1.0, gst-launch-1.0, or:

  $ cd ~/Videos
  $ gst-typefind-1.0 DSCN0762.MOV 
  DSCN0762.MOV - video/quicktime

For GStreamer 0.x, the registry is in $HOME/.gstreamer-0.10/
