Hi there, I saw this response from Werner regarding this in 2.1 beta, but I don't understand?
**** In 2.1 the secret keys are manage by gpg-agent and in theory gpg should not care about them. However, we also have import and export commands which tell the agent what to do with the secret keys (i.e. import or export). A delete command is a bit more difficult regarding the UI because it is possible that gpgme uses the same secret key for an X.509 certificate - it would then also be silently deleted. Salam-Shalom, Werner **** I know it's not implemented because when trying to delete a test key I get: ./g10/gpg2 --delete-secret-keys testing @GPG@ (@GNUPG@) 2.1.0-beta272; Copyright (C) 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
