This command will delete *all* your private keys. You should use it "as 
is" only if *all* your private keys are stored on a smartcard.

If you have other private keys in your keyring that are not stored on a 
smartcard, do *not* delete all files in ~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d! 
Instead, get the keygrip of each of your card keys

   $ gpg2 --with-keygrip --list-secret-keys

and delete only the corresponding files under ~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d.
