How to delete SSH keys on Linux or Unix
The first step is to disable user login using command as follows:
Linux Lock An Account
Log in as root user:
Say lock out user named vivek. The syntax is:
sudo -i
Say lock out user named vivek. The syntax is:
# passwd -l userName
# passwd -l vivek
FreeBSD Local An Account
# pw lock userName
# pw local vivek
Solaris / HP-UX UNIX Lock An Account
# passwd -l userNameL
# passwd -l vivek
Remove SSH Keys
The $HOME/.ssh/ stores all required ssh keys. Simply rename the directory using the mv command or delete the directory using rm command
OR
For remote server edit $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys or $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file and remove public key. This will delete login from home computer into your server. Finally, you can always delete user from your system using the pw on FreeBSD or userdel on Linux / UNIX.
# mv /home/vivek/.ssh /home/vivek/nosshlogin
OR
# rm -rf /home/vivek/.ssh
For remote server edit $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys or $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file and remove public key. This will delete login from home computer into your server. Finally, you can always delete user from your system using the pw on FreeBSD or userdel on Linux / UNIX.
A note about removing a particular host key from SSH’s known_hosts file
Use the ssh-keygen command as follows
ssh-keygen -R your-hostname
ssh-keygen -R server1.cyberciti.biz
DenyUsers option can block any user
Another option is to edit the sshd_config file on your remove Unix or Linux server. From the man page:
DenyUsers option can block any user. This option can be followed by a list of user name patterns, separated by spaces. Login is disallowed for user names that match one of the patterns. Only user names are valid; a numerical user ID (UID) is not recognized. By default, login is allowed for all users. If the pattern takes the form USER@HOST then USER and HOST are separately checked, restricting logins to particular users from particular hosts.
So edit file:
Block user vivek from log in, append or modify as follows:
Say you want to deny wendy and vivek users, run:
Save and close the file. Reload or restart the sshd service on Linux or Unix
OR
For more info see:
sudo vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Block user vivek from log in, append or modify as follows:
DenyUsers vivek
Say you want to deny wendy and vivek users, run:
DenyUsers vivek, wendy
Save and close the file. Reload or restart the sshd service on Linux or Unix
sudo systemctl restart sshd
OR
sudo service sshd restart

For my current hobby project, I’m using Git and GitHub regularly for the first time.
I don’t like using source control via the command line (for Mercurial, I’m using TortoiseHG), so I’m still experimenting with several GUI clients in order to find the one I like best.
At the moment, I’m evaluating the “official” GUI tools which come with the Git for Windows download (git-gui and gitk), and I started connecting to GitHub with SSH instead of user/password via https.
So I created my first SSH key in Git GUI via Help ⇒ Show SSH key and then Generate Key:
…and then tried to delete it again, because I created it with passphrase, but I wanted to try a new one without passphrase instead.
But Git GUI didn’t let me delete it. Generating a key disables the Generate Key button, and there’s no Delete Key button:
It’s obvious from the screenshot that the key is in a file named id_rsa.pub, which is in a folder .ssh somewhere on my machine, and that I apparently just needed to delete this file.
This is probably easy to solve for regular Git Bash / Linux users, but as a Windows user with no Git/Bash/Linux experience, it took me some time to find out how to do it.
Here’s the solution:
1. List All Keys
Show the content of the .ssh folder in Git Bash:

Apparently a SSH key consists of two files, in this case id_rsa and id_rsa.pub.
(the two github_rsa files are probably left from a previous GitHub Desktop installation some time ago)
(the two github_rsa files are probably left from a previous GitHub Desktop installation some time ago)
2. Delete the id_rsa Files
The Bash command for deleting files is
rm -f
, so I needed to do this:After this, the files are gone:
…and I can create a new SSH key by clicking Generate Key in the previously shown Git GUI window.
