How to revoke/delete a certificate that was created and issued via Mikrotik RouterOS?

Question

VPN

Good afternoon, the OPENVPN server was configured on Mikrotik, certificates for clients were created through the same Mikrotik.

Some time later, after all the tests, it was decided to remove several client certificates, RouterOS gives an error: couldn't remove certificate - issued certificates can only be revoked (9), certificates are not used, several have never been used at all.

Found an article here on the forum Removing a Mikrotik certificate?

Tell me how best to do it, how to withdraw them?

There must be a simple solution, and earlier on another device I freely deleted certificates.

Answer 1

or

/certificate issued-revoke

via console

Answer 2

In the microt certificate issuance/generation ecosystem, issued certificates cannot be removed from the microt. They can only be recalled. If you need to delete all files completely, then the "root certificate" is deleted, the one that signed the user's certificates. The rest will disappear on its own.
