Understanding SSH Keys
Before diving into the deletion process, let’s briefly understand what SSH keys are and how they work.
SSH keys come in pairs: a public key and a private key. The public key is placed on remote servers you want to access securely, while the private key is kept on your local machine. When you attempt to connect to a remote server, the server checks whether your public key matches the private key you provide for authentication.

Secure Shell (SSH) keys are a fundamental part of modern authentication and secure communication between computers over a network. SSH keys provide a secure way to access remote servers and perform various administrative tasks. However, managing SSH keys is essential to maintain the security of your systems. In some cases, you may need to delete an SSH key for a user. This article will walk you through the process of deleting SSH key pairs, covering every aspect of it.
