twinbytes Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 There must be a way to delete an encryption key that was created on a computer. I know I can decrypt files while the key still exists, but please read carefully my unique situation. I had to recover data for a customer who had encrypted files, I need to install the encryption key on my computer temporarily to recover the data off there and onto a USB drive so it can then transfer to their freshly installed Windows on their computer. I don't want to keep their encryption key on my computer so I want to know how to remove the key from my Windows 10 pro. Thanks in advance.

I decided to search using different key terms and I found my answer here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772354(v=ws.11).aspx Hope it helps someone else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
