To remove a self-signed certificate, you can follow the steps outlined below:

1. Access the Certificate Management Interface: From the top menu bar of your system, navigate to “System” and click on “Certificates.”

2. Locate the Self-Signed Certificates Section: In the Certificate Management Interface, you will find a section specifically dedicated to self-signed certificates. Look for this section on the page.

3. Find the Certificate to Remove: Within the self-signed certificates section, you will see a list of all the certificates currently installed on your system. Locate the certificate that you want to remove from the list.

4. Remove the Certificate: Once you have identified the certificate you wish to delete, click on the trash bin icon associated with that certificate. This action will initiate the removal process.

5. Confirm the Removal: After clicking the trash bin icon, a confirmation message will appear on your screen. This message will ask you to confirm your decision to remove the certificate. Take a moment to review the details of the certificate to ensure you are deleting the correct one. If you are certain, click “OK” or “Confirm” to proceed with the removal.

6. Certificate Removal Completion: Once you confirm the removal, the system will process the request and remove the selected self-signed certificate from your system. You may receive a notification or confirmation message indicating the successful removal of the certificate.

It is worth mentioning that removing a self-signed certificate means that it will no longer be trusted by your system. Therefore, any services or applications relying on this certificate may encounter errors or disruptions.
