two keys - delete one

Hi.

During my tests with pgp/gpg I imported my old pgp-key.

gpg --list-keys shows me the list of known keys - inclusive the one I
want to remove. My problem is, I can't access the second one and
delete it.
The only possibility I found is to delete first my secret key, then
the public key, then the pgp-key.
After that I reimported my public key and the backup of my
secring.gpg. The pgp-key was removed, but I don't think this is the
right way to do ?-)

gpg --delete-private-key <key-id-in-hex-not-user-id>
gpg --delete-key <key-id-in-hex-not-user-id>

Oops, it's "gpg --delete-secret-key" not "private".
