Deleting an Encryption Key

When an encryption key is no longer being used, and you have no plans to use it in the future, you may want to delete it.

If you delete a key that was used to encrypt a document, you will no longer be able to use that document. Prior to deleting the encryption key, either remove encryption from the affected document or change the document's encryption key.
