Deleting or renaming $HOME/.gnugpg

What will happen to gpg if I rename $HOME/.gnupg and start a new $HOME/.gnupg. I have not shared any of the keys and starting anew will not have any consequences to me or anybody else. What will it do to the gnupg? Will it allow me to get on with my work while at the same time be able to rev
