To remove some keys were executed the following commands:
gpg --delete-secret-keys <key ID>
gpg --delete-key <key ID>
Where the <key ID> can be either a full or long fingerprint
Once executed the two previous commands in peace the two following commands are executed to confirm that the public and secret keys were removed
gpg --list-secret-keys
gpg --list-public-keys
And as expected the removed keys do not appear anymore. Until here no reason to do create this post
About the two previous commands, for each one their outputs have as the first line the following content:
/home/manueljordan/.gnupg/pubring.kbx
Just being curious: if is executed the cat pubring.kbx command appears some removed users yet (I mean: the encrypted content shows some emails of the users that were removed through their public and secret keys)
Why happen this? How to fix?
