Deleting an SSL certificate

For SSL certificates that are no longer needed or cannot be used, you can delete them in the BytePlus Certificate Center console. Once you delete an SSL certificate, BytePlus Certificate Center will no longer retain the record of the corresponding certificate.

Conditions for deleting certificates

Certificate type	Conditions for deletion
Certificates ordered through BytePlus Certificate Center	Not associated with other certificates Not used by cloud resources Order cancelled, request failed, or certificate expired/revoked
Certificates uploaded to BytePlus Certificate Center	Not used by cloud resources

Check methods

Check if the certificate is associated with other certificates:

Open the certificate details and check the Related cert in the Basic information section. If it shows -, it means the certificate is not associated with other certificates; if it shows View related cert, it means the certificate is associated with other certificates.

Check if the certificate is used by cloud resources:

In the certificate list, check the content of the Used by column. If it shows -, it means the certificate is not used by cloud resources; if it shows other content, it means the certificate is used by cloud resources.

Check the status of the certificate:

In the certificate list, check the Status and Validity period columns:

If Status is Cancelled, it means that the certificate order has been cancelled.

If Status is Rejected, it means that the certificate request has failed.

If Validity period includes Expired, it means that the certificate has expired.

If Validity period includes Revoked, it means that the certificate has been revoked by the CA.

Precautions before operation

Once a certificate is deleted, it cannot be recovered. Please proceed with caution.
