You can take offense if you like, if you have the keyring manager
installed, it is a simple matter to delete the keyrings, if you have
even bothered to try, but it doesn't sound like it. Editing corrupted
files by hand, assuming they will even open is not likely to work,
IMHO. However google may enlighten you like it did me as to their
location if you take the time to use it that is. In addition you are
not the author of the original post as near as I can tell.
