Unable to Delete Old Certificates

Sometimes we have problem in deleting old/unused certificates as they error out with "Entry  from view [TrustedCAs] is not deleted - respective security resource was not deleted"

Resolution:
1.Export the TrustedCAs view to Filesystem(*.view file) and import it back to different view (Ex: TrustedTest).
2.Delete the old/unused entries from the new view(TrustedTest).
3.Export the new view(TrustedTest) to Filesystem(*.view file).
4.Delete the view TrustedCAs and restart the application.
5.During the restart the "TrustedCAs" view will be recreated and the default certificates will also be regenerated. as below.

6.Import the file that was created in step 3.

If the certificates deletion problem is in another custom view (Ex:cust_server_cert) follow step 1, 2, 3 , delete the custom view , create the view with same name again and re import the view file created in step3.
