I messed up and need to revoke my SSL

The domain is whenreadingishard.com
crt.sh | 14429918002

I setup a lightsail instance, messed up. got angry and deleted it then reinstall it. then I relizxed my error as far as ssl's are concerned. I can prove I own the domain anyway you want. how can i revoke that SSL so i can install another ssl on the new lightsail?

I no longer have any access to the cert, pem or private key. its gone i deleted it

Hi @zeJanit,

That doesn’t seem like one of the reasons to revoke a certificate.

it states i can revoke it by proving I own the domain...

how do I find the right dns values so i can revoke it?

Why must the certificate be revoked?
What is the reason?

I deleted the instance without backing up the SSL files, if i can just add dns records and reinstall on the new lightsail that will work. I assumed I needed to revoke?

Most likely not. You have not lost the domain and the private key was destroyed (and not under someone else control).

so that means I can not longer use Lets encrypt? or how do i reinstall? when i try it fails assuming I have the other server running, which i do not.

No, just get a new certificate issued.

No; It only means you can no longer use that cert.
You are still eligible to issue more certs for that same name.

Reinstall what?

What fails?
What exactly did you try and what exactly did the failure message say?
