Deleting or renaming $HOME/.gnugpg
What will happen to gpg if I rename $HOME/.gnupg and start a new
$HOME/.gnupg. I have not shared any of the keys and starting anew will
not have any consequences to me or anybody else. What will it do to the
gnupg?


Will it allow me to get on with my work while at the same time be able
to revert back to the old configs by renaming directories, just to
answer questions from the list trying to help me. Will this scenario work?


Thanks,


Ayoub

Yes, as long as you also kill the daemons so they restart with the new
situation:

$ gpgconf --kill all

HTH,
