# Deleting Proofs using GnuPG
Over time, you may need to delete proofs. Changing proofs can be achieved by deleting proofs and adding new ones.
## Delete all proofs
First, edit the key (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
2021-03-31 06:54:54 -06:00
```
gpg --edit-key FINGERPRINT
```
2020-08-07 17:04:28 -06:00
Launch the notation prompt:
2021-03-31 06:54:54 -06:00
```
notation
```
2020-08-07 17:04:28 -06:00
Enter the 'none' notation to delete all notations:
2021-03-31 06:54:54 -06:00
```
none
```

```
save
```

## Delete one of your proofs
First, edit the key (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
2021-03-31 06:54:54 -06:00
```
gpg --edit-key FINGERPRINT
```
2020-08-07 17:04:28 -06:00
Launch the notation prompt:
2021-03-31 06:54:54 -06:00
```
notation

Enter the **-** (minus) symbol followed by the proof you want to delete. Make sure you type the proof exactly like it is in your key.
2021-03-31 06:54:54 -06:00
```
-proof@metacode.biz=dns:yourdomain.org?type=TXT
```
2020-08-07 17:04:28 -06:00
_To make it easier to enter the right proof, you could first [list all proofs](managing-proofs-listing) and simply copy the proof (including "proof@metacode.biz=") you want to delete._
