Deleting a keychain
- Close the keychain if it is open (⌘L).
- In the keychain list, right-click the keychain.
- Choose how to delete it: - "Delete Keychain" or "Delete local Keychain": deletes the keychain from this Mac only. If it is in your cloud storage, it stays there and on your other devices. - "Delete local and cloud Keychain": deletes it from this Mac and from the cloud storage. - "Delete Keychain from Cloud": for a keychain that is only in the cloud.
- To confirm, type the word shown ("DELETE") and click "Delete".
When deleting from the cloud, the copy in the cloud is deleted first. If that fails (e.g. without an internet connection), nothing is deleted.
Warning: Copies of the keychain on your other devices are not deleted. If one of them is still connected to the cloud, it may upload the keychain to the cloud again when it syncs.
