Delete an SSH key

Delete a key you have finished with, for example when you replace your keys or retire a computer. You can delete a key once you have taken it off every resource.

See what uses a key

1. In TIR, open the account menu at the top right and select SSH Keys.
2. Check In Use: Not in Use, or how many resources use the key.
3. For a key in use, select its name to see each resource that uses it, with its type, project, and project owner.

A key counts as in use for each instance, virtual machine, and training cluster that has it.

Delete the key

1. Take the key off every resource that uses it. For an instance, open its Network & Security > SSH; see Connect to an instance over SSH. For a Slurm Cluster, see Update a cluster.
2. On the SSH Keys page, open the menu in the key’s Actions column and select Delete key.
3. In the Delete SSH key dialog, type the key name in Key name, then select Delete key.

The key is removed from your list.
