Hi Ed,
> [I deleted my private key's passphrase which was written in a file]
your passphrase should be in your memory rather than in a file. If you create
a file or paper copy, make sure to protect it thoroughly. Personally, I only
memorize a handful of passphrases for encryption. All other passwords I store
encryptedly using one of the "master" passwords. Make sure you are able to
remember your private key passphrase. You'll have to type it quite often once
you start using signing/encrypting on a regular basis.

Your key appears to be revoked properly. So you seem to have managed already.
