Deleting Keys
Command
To delete a key from sagacli, you can use the key delete command in the following manner:
IMPORTANT:: Please bear in mind that before you delete a key, you should ensure that
There are no assets i.e. chainlets associated to the address belonging to the key being deleted. If there are any assets, you will not be able to transact with these assets as those transactions would require signatures provided by the key.
The address associated with the key does not have an escrow balance. If the balance exists, you can only withdraw this balance if you have a way to regenerate the key being deleted.
Most importantly, you should ensure that you have a way to regenecrate the key i.e. you have the mnemonic phrase used to create the key. Without this mnemonic, the key cannot be regenerated once deleted.
