+ <desc>Delete local copies of your keys or the keys of people you

+
+ <title>Delete an existing key</title>
+
+ <p>If you are no longer communicating with someone, you can delete the copy
+ of their GnuPG key on your computer using <app>Passwords and Keys</app>. You
+ can also permanently delete a key you own, provided it has never been
+ published on a key server. Deleting a GnuPG key deletes both the public key
+ and the secret key.</p>
+
+ <steps>
+ <title>To delete a key:</title>
+ <item>
+ <p>Select the key.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Right click, and choose <gui>Delete</gui>. Alternatively you can also
+ select <guiseq><gui style="menu">Edit</gui>
+ <gui style="menuitem">Delete</gui></guiseq> to delete the key.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>In the new dialog, confirm the deletion by ticking the
+ <gui style="checkbox">I understand that this secret key will be permanently deleted</gui>
+ checkbox, and press the <gui style="button">Delete</gui> button to
+ finish.</p>
+ </item>
+ </steps>
+
+ <note style="important">
+ <p>When you delete a GnuPG key that has been published on a key server, you
+ only delete the secret key in the GnuPG keypair because a copy of the
+ public key will still be present on some key server. This means that
+ someone can <link xref="pgp-retrieve-remote">retrieve</link> the public key
+ from a key server and use it to encrypt messages to you but you will not be
+ able to decrypt those messages with the corresponding secret key. To
+ prevent the published key from being used, retrieve it and
+ <link xref="misc-key-revoke">revoke</link> it. The revoked key can then be
+ <link xref="pgp-sync">synced</link> with a key server to prevent people
+ from retrieving and using it.</p>
+ <!-- or when you <link xref="misc-key-revoke">revoke</link> it.- No
+ revoking feature yet for SSH keys/PGP master keys-->
