Try
gpg --delete-secret-key 0xE0807C30
instead.

Make sure it's gone by listing the secret keys:
gpg --list-secret-keys

Umm, did you actually delete the secret key from the laptop or from the other 
machine? It's the laptop keyring that needs the secret key removal.

If you've done what I think you've done, you need to re-import gpg.sec on the 
other machine. Use --list-secret-keys on both machines and find out where you 
stand.
