Hi Ramon,

you cannot delete a key from the keyserver. (That's a feature, honestly.)
You need your secret key to REVOKE it (I hope you have a backup copy of
your secret key; in Enigmail key manager right-click on key and select
Revoke key). That will create a revocation certificate. (If you deleted
all copies of your secret key, you may use the revocation certificate that
you did save upon key creation using Engimail, didn't you?) In both cases
you need the public key to be revoked in your keyring, import the rev.
cert. and upload the revoked key to the keyserver.
Strictly speaking, this isn't quite an Enigmail topic, please address
further questions that are more GnuPG related than Enigmail related to
the GnuPG users list or the Yahoo PGP Basics group. I recommend to read
Quick start: http://enigmail.mozdev.org/documentation/quickstart.php
Key Management: http://enigmail.mozdev.org/documentation/keyman.php
GnuPG Intro: http://enigmail.mozdev.org/documentation/gpgsetup.php#generate
(read that part right down to the end of the page)
Good luck,
Olav
