### Removing a Keyslot
LUKS supports multiple keyslots, allowing several passwords, key files or hardware tokens to unlock
the same encrypted volume.
If a key is no longer needed, the corresponding keyslot can be removed.
To remove a keyslot, replace `<LUKS-device-path>` with the encrypted device (e.g. `/dev/sda2`)
and `<slot>` with the keyslot number.
```sh
sudo systemd-cryptenroll <LUKS-device-path> --wipe-slot=<slot>
```
The available keyslots can be listed beforehand using the following command.
```sh
sudo systemd-cryptenroll <LUKS-device-path>
```
Be careful not to remove the last remaining valid keyslot, otherwise the encrypted volume can no
longer be unlocked.
