<p> <b>Note:</b>  <codeph>keytool</codeph> can only remove keys imported using

the its or the emulator's keystore UI. Other keys will have a different owner

and cannot, therefore, be removed in this fashion. </p>

<p>The remove command supports the “*” and “?” wildcards on key labels. All

the keys whose labels match the given pattern will be removed. For example, <codeph>c:\&gt;keytool

–r *rsa*</codeph> will remove all the keys whose label contains the string

“rsa”. </p>
