If you select the certificate and then tap the "Select purpose" button, there's a delete option - I've not tested as to whether that deletes the certificate altogether or not though.

Weird enough, there is no such button for all of the installed certificates. I'd like to remove some expired certificates but am unable to do so...

Maybe a bug should be filed for the issue. At a quick glance, I wasn't able to find anything related in Bugzilla.

You shouldn't need to delete expired certificates (they should be ignored automatically), though I can see why you'd want to. I'd expect the pre-installed certificates to be getting updated via package updates, though it doesn't come as a surprise that Nokia have failed to do so.

Yep, I know there's no actual need for removing them as that's just what the expiry dates are for. I just want to keep the list nice and clean ;)

Anyway, this concerns not only the expired certificates. Some certificates can be removed and others not - even valid ones. Maybe this isn't exactly a bug, but quite weird behaviour anyway...

From a quick look, only ones the user has added can be removed, none of the pre-installed ones can be.

A delete button would be suer useful. Just incase you accidently add a certificate/exeption/trust & then one day you have trouble with the authentication with the server & there aint no way of over riding the SSL.

Like me **Cough** Wooops.

That's already there - there a delete button for any certificates you've added, just not for those that were pre-installed (at least, that's what I see on mine).

Unfortunatly not. Is there no way of my going into the root of the phone to the location of the certificate. Like on a PC based mozilla you can navigate to the cert7.db to edit certificates. Well before you were able to anyway... Would be really helpful thank you.
