We pass the -R option to the ssh-keygen command to remove all keys belonging to the specified hostname (with optional port number) from a known_hosts file. This option is useful to delete hashed hosts.
You can do rm -rf ~/. ssh/* to remove everything in your . ssh folder.
Windows with PuTTYSearch for regedit.exe and open it. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/SimonTatham/PuTTy/SshHostKeys. Right click the offending key and click delete.
How do I delete SSH keys using a command under Linux system. If you want to remove all Host SSH keys from your Linux system, and you can directly remove all SSH key files located in $HOME/.ssh directory. so you can run the following command to delete host SSH keys, type:
For remote server edit $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys or $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file and remove public key. This will delete login from home computer into your server. Finally, you can always delete user from your system using the pw on FreeBSD or userdel on Linux / UNIX. A note about removing a particular host key from SSH’s known_hosts file
Do ssh-add -D to delete all your manually added keys. This also locks the automatically added keys, but is not much use since gnome-keyring will ask you to unlock them anyways when you try doing a git push. Navigate to your ~/.ssh folder and move all your key files except the one you want to identify with into a separate folder called backup.
Remove SSH Keys. The $HOME/.ssh/ stores all required ssh keys. Simply rename the directory using the mv command or delete the directory using rm command # mv /home/vivek/.ssh /home/vivek/nosshlogin OR # rm -rf /home/vivek/.ssh For remote server edit $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys or $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file and remove public key.
Depending on where they are located:
rm github_rsa.pub and
rm id_rsa.pub If they are in the default location then you can do
rm ~/.ssh/github_rsa.pub and
rm ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub However this is likely answered already elsewhere.
