    Default How to delete a gnuPG key ?

    When trying to delete a GnuPG key, I get this error.

    GnuPG
    Unable to delete key. You might need to
    delete the secret key first (secret keys must be deleted from a ssh
    session


    Which is the procedure to delete the key from ssh ?

    If I terminate the account with the GnuPG keys ,
    the Keys are deleted or remain on the server ?

    Thank you

    I have a slightly different problem... I delete a GnuPG in cpanel, it asks for confirmation and when I return to the list it is still there. I also checked the file on the server and the trustdb file hadn't changed.

    All I am trying to do really is renew the key, it had expired.

    Any ideas?

    Hello,

    Has there ever been a solution to this? Still seems to be an issue.

    Unhappy

    Hi, anyone else worked out a solution to this?
    I managed to delete the keys but now I can't remake them, it says it was successful but I have no keys, and I really need to have them
    Any help would be great

    Default removing GnuPG keys

    Use the following GnuPG commands from the (shell)command line in this order:

    gpg --help
    gpg --list-keys
    gpg --delete-secret-keys keyname
    gpg --deletekeys keyname
    Pass me an Axe!

    Same problem here. Choose to delete a key, confirm, the confirmation result is shown "Public Key B0A0F699 has been deleted" but then.. nothing changed. The key is still in the list.

    Anyone?
