Can not remove Authentication Key from Repository

Debian 11 Cinnamon, "Software ... Software Repository..." can NOT remove unwanted Authentication Key from List..
Logged in as either root or as administrator, still unable to remove old key.
Is there a file I can edit ?

Code: Select all

apt-key list
then

Code: Select all

apt-key del keyid
What is keyid?

Tried Opera browser, Used Synaptic Pkg Mgr to add, then did complete removal. but key entries remain.
Used apt-key list to obtain keyid
then
sudo apt-key del keyid
where keyid = last 8 characters of the long Opera keyid.
Doing so appears to have removed the obsolete entries.

Thanks for the help !!!
