The --edit-key command did work this time. That's weird.
I tried this with my original keys and my experience matches
what Peter described. When I tried to delkey my original subkeys,
gpg deleted the public key packets, leaving the secret keys intact.
Public key list confirmed deletion of the subk
I had some revoked subkeys that I was not going to use anymore.
I thought it would be a good idea to delete their secret keys,
so I used the gpg --delete-secret-keys command to do it.
I ended up accidentally deleting all my keys instead,
including my primary key.
I'm trying to learn from my mistak
