I wanted to know how could the file be deleted securely using PGP?
=================
you wouldn't use a hammer to put in screws, would you? there are tools for
deleting files, but gpg isn't in the list. start with this one -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srm_%E2%80%93_Secure_Remove
or google for `secure delete` and add the operating system & file system
that you're concerned about.
be aware that some file systems make the job of ~really~ deleting files
difficult or impossible.
