When deleting a certificate authority:

  • All certificates issued for end-entities or other certificate authorities become unusable. Specifically, when deleting a root certificate authority, all its subordinate certificate authorities and all certificates issued by these subordinate certificate authorities become unusable.

  • You must wait 24 hours before creating a CA with the same identifier. During these 24 hours, your number of active CAs will still include this CA.
