# 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):
```
gpg --edit-key FINGERPRINT
```
Launch the notation prompt:
```
notation
```
Enter the 'none' notation to delete all notations:
```
none
```
Save the changes:
```
save
```
## Delete one of your proofs
First, edit the key (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
```
gpg --edit-key FINGERPRINT
```
Launch the notation prompt:
```
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.
```
-proof@metacode.biz=dns:yourdomain.org?type=TXT
```
_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._
Save the changes:
```
save
```
Upload the key to WKD or use the following command to upload the key to [keys.openpgp.org](https://keys.openpgp.org) (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
```
gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --send-keys FINGERPRINT
```
