If you want to delete a certificate from a certificate store, you can use the Microsoft "certutil -delstore store_name certificate_id" command as shown in this tutorial:

C:\fyicenter>\windows\system32\certutil -delstore -user my "*.facebook.com"
my
Deleting Certificate 0
CertUtil: -delstore command completed successfully.

C:\fyicenter>\windows\system32\certutil -store -user my "*.facebook.com"
my
CertUtil: -store command FAILED: 0x80090011 (-2146893807)

  • "-delstore" optin indicates a certificate to be deleted from a certificate store.
  • "-user my" option specifies "my" certificate store in the "Current User" store location to be used.
