Hi,

You just have to toggle to secret keyring, select key (> key 4) and run
delkey. You'd be asked if you realy want delete a secret subkey.

That's what you did in public keyring but there is two keyring one
public and one secret. You could have run "gpg --delete-keys" and "gpg
--delete-secret-keys" too.
