You have just to delete the keys, which are stored on the card.
Deleteing the master key of them also deletes the sub keys.

That's no problem at all. Then you have to imnport the public key of
the card key BEFORE you insert the card and make --card-status. Only
then the card is recognised and the stubs are generated automatically.

If the public keys are not in your public keyring, the card keys are
ignored.
