Correct way to completely remove issued certificate(s) for a domain

@ppKrauss

That’s correct. “certbot revoke” doesn’t delete anything.

(And you don’t need to revoke a certificate before deleting it, unless the private key has been compromised, or you no longer control the domain(s).)

certbot delete --cert-name MyDomain” can be used to delete a certificate’s files. (It doesn’t revoke it.)


Update: In newer versions of Certbot, “certbot revokecan optionally delete the certificate files as well.
