.. note:: Read this and the `Safely deleting certificates`_ sections carefully. This is an irreversible operation and must
be done with care.
Certbot does not automatically revoke a certificate before deleting it. If you're no longer using a certificate and don't
plan to use it anywhere else, you may want to follow the instructions in `Revoking certificates`_ instead. Generally, there's
no need to revoke a certificate if its private key has not been compromised, but you may still receive expiration emails
from Let's Encrypt unless you revoke.
.. note:: Do not manually delete certificate files from inside ``/etc/letsencrypt/``. Always use the ``delete`` subcommand.
A certificate may be deleted by providing its name with ``--cert-name``. \
