Warning: This action cannot be undone. Deleting a certificate removes it from the keystore.

The certificate is deleted and removed from the list of existing certificates on the Certificate Management screen.

  • Use unique Name or Alias values to clearly identify certificates and prevent accidental deletion.

  • Keep a backup of important certificates outside the system if needed for recovery.
