GPG Wants lost key

[Mumbai Hawk]

Have a bug of some kind. When trying to send it wants a key that I do
not have. The key it wants has been over written and is no more. So how
do you get the program to forget the keys you do not have and use a new
key. It keeps saying it can not encrypt and throws up the key number
0x73dfbf16. Program has been uninstall ed. Entry in registry set back
to 0000 and other file deleted. The application files have been deleted
for it. Still when you reinstall it and try to encrypt from the
***@sbcglobal.net address it asks for the key I do not have and
will not use the new one. I just do not understand where it is getting
this key number from. I feel if I wipe the drive it still may come back
to haunt me.

Could your gpg.conf file have an "encrypt-to" entry for the old key?

Just a thought.

Looked in the gpg.conf and 0x73dfbf16 was not in there [default-key
39AD0D5E] was in there. So while it does not have the same number as the
key it throws up to me could this thing be the problem?

What happens if you use option
--default-key NAME use NAME as default secret key

For some reason I moved a script file to trash. The file had some
reference to gpg keys or I would not have done this. Any way it started
working again. I do not know if it was in making the new key for the
troubled e-mail address or deleting the file that made it go. This is a
problem I will take to the maker of gpgwin. I would not want it to
happen to any one else. You could get in a lot of trouble and have to
reinstall windows going some of the things I had to do.
