Remarks

The delete key operation cannot be used to remove individual versions of a key. This operation removes the cryptographic material associated with the key, which means the key is not usable for Sign/Verify, Wrap/Unwrap or Encrypt/Decrypt operations. This operation requires the keys/delete permission.
