Hi! Glad you found the answer, but this oneliner is not going to be helpful for anyone else. Can you please enrich the answer with some explanation of what it does, and why this is the correct answer?

hey Bruce, reason is we can have multiple keys under the same name before applying into cluster but when applying to cluster it will show an error that multiple sshkeys are there you need to remove one ! so at that time we need to pass the id along with the delete command to remove the desired key. Hope it clarified.
