How do I remove a certificate from Certificate Trust Settings if the profile doesn't exist?

Solution 1:

I'm on iOS 13.3. I tested this using non-orphaned certificates in hopes of isolating the issue to see what is the minimum option you can use to remove these certificates.

Works:

  • Assuming you have the profile (i.e. non-orphaned): Settings > Profile > (Profile) > Remove
  • Nuclear option (deleting everything on your phone): Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings

Doesn't work:

  • Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings
  • Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings
