Should delete cached certificate on revoke

[sajxe]

Client version: Software version 198.2.6594.21512 (RELEASE)
Windows version: IIS version 7.5, Windows Server 2008, 1 shared IP

Steps that were taken:
I managed to successfully create a certificate for a domain and two subdomains, but I revoked it by mistake.
I deleted the cert from Personal and all the https bindings in IIS but every time I try to renew or create a new cert, Win Simple re-uses this old revoked cached cert instead of getting a new one.

• Do I need to make a new private key because of the revocation?
  (Not sure what reason Win Simple gave when it revoked the cert, but there is nothing wrong with my existing key)

• If I delete everything in c:\programdata\letsencrypt-win-simple\httpsacme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org, will Win Simple stop giving me the old revoked certificate and will it make a new private key for me automatically?

• Would the command "letsencrypt.exe --forcerenewal" fix my problem without me having to delete the cached files?

• I tried using the --test option and installed a test fake cert. How do I remove it when I want to try to create a real cert again? Do I just delete it from My/Personal and change the cert in the Bindings/Edit dropdown in IIS?

Thanks very much for any help you can give.

1. A new key pair is generated automatically when a new certificate is requested, you don't have to do anything for that
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. Yes

Seems like your intuition is pretty good :)

Going to mark this as a bug because it obviously shouldn't happen in the first place.

Great! I will try to make a new cert again this weekend and see if it works, thank you so much!

Update: I deleted all the files in the cache, all the existing https bindings in IIS, and the test cert in My/Personal, then I ran win-simple again. Everything went very smoothly and my new cert was issued with no problems. Thank you very much once again for all your help! :)
