~/.gnupg is the default as others have said.  gpg -K will show your
secret keyring.  When you say previous installation I am assuming you
either upgraded or reinstalled. Is this correct?
If so, how did you do it?
Did you just upgrade or was this a clean installation?
If you reinstalled completely then you deleted the private key which
is needed to generate a revocation certificate. As such you can not
revoke the key. If you did this you may be able to use something like
TestDisk[1] to get it back but no guarantees.
