I have create a user : Andreas <aba@tbit.dk> (Telebit)
which keys is now expired.
Then I created a new user: Andreas <aba@tbit.dk> (Ericsson Telebit)
with a new key.

How do I delete the first entry completely ?

Or how do I make uid "aba" mean the new entry ?

Thanks, but I cannot find an answer to my first question.
How do I delete a key and all its users ?

gpg --edit-key <key ID>

and then what ?

Ah, thanks.
You have to do it directly, and not from within the --edit-key menu.
