My SSL certificate expired before I was able to renew it. Now that I've renewed the cert and uploaded it to App Engine, I'd like to delete the old expired cert. However, the UI doesn't allow me to delete it (see attached screenshot).

What else do I need to do in order to be able to delete the expired SSL certificate?

Hey Hristo,

In line with the message shown, is it possible that the certificate is added to other projects? Also, did you add the certificate initially, and are you able to see the domain it corresponds to in the "App Engine > Settings > Custom domains" screen?

Cheers,

Hey Hristo,

Another thing which just came to mind - I think you may simply need to upload the new one, set it to being active, and then you'll be able to delete the other cert.

Hey Nick,

Thanks for the quick response!

Your first answer ended being the solution. I have other projects that were apparently using the same certificate (even thought the projects are no longer active), so I just needed to make the switch to the new cert for each project. I was able to delete the old cert after that.

Thanks!
