I linked my domain to a droplet's IP and installed WordPress from the marketplace on the droplet, and SSL was configured for the domain. But after that, I directly deleted the droplet. Then I linked the same domain to a third-party IP, but the domain is not working, and I am getting the error 'ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR.' How can I fix this? Could this be due to an SSL conflict? If so, how can I delete the old SSL from my domain, considering I have already destroyed the droplet?
Hi @ankinolimits, and welcome to the LE community forum 
What does that mean?
Did they provide any instructions that you followed?
We would need more details about the error before being able to provide any useful advice.
Previously issued certs have no relevance in this type of problem.
Your best bet is to answer all the questions that were [or should have been] posed when you selected the help category:
Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.
My domain is:
I ran this command:
It produced this output:
My web server is (include version):
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know):
I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot):

Deleting/Revoking an issued certificate will not affect, nor help, this situation.

No i don't have root access this system and this is new IP address not the old IP address. So is there any way to delete the associated SSL certificate with this domain because I am having error of "ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR" how to resolve this error.
duplicate certificate is not a problem by itself: clients are expected get a new one than about a month before old one expires.

so what can be the issue how to get rid out of it can please suggest for it.
Your current problem is that your web server configuration is configured for https on port 443 but does not point to a valid certificate file. You need to get another cert and apply the files in your configuration

no not yet first i talked here
SSL certificates are configured on the webserver. If that server has been changed (e.g. other IP address configured in DNS), the previous certificate is not an issue any longer. Any SSL related issue after the server change will need to be addressed on that new server.
