The CertUnregisterPhysicalStore function removes a physical store from a specified system store collection. CertUnregisterPhysicalStore can also be used to delete the physical store.
Syntax
BOOL CertUnregisterPhysicalStore(
[in] const void *pvSystemStore,
[in] DWORD dwFlags,
[in] LPCWSTR pwszStoreName
);
Parameters
[in] pvSystemStore
A pointer to an identifier of the system store collection from which the physical store is to be removed. It is either to a null-terminated Unicode string or to a CERT_SYSTEM_STORE_RELOCATE_PARA structure. For information about using the structure and on appending a ServiceName or ComputerName to the end of the system store name string, see CertRegisterSystemStore.
[in] dwFlags
The high word of the dwFlags parameter specifies the location of the system store. For information about defined high-word flags and on appending ServiceName, UserNames, and ComputerNames to the end of the system store name, see CertRegisterSystemStore.
The following low-word values are also defined. They can be combined using bitwise-OR operations with high-word values.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
|
The system store is not in its default registry location and pvSystemStore must be a pointer to a CERT_SYSTEM_STORE_RELOCATE_PARA structure. |

The physical store is first removed from the system store collection and is then deleted. |
[in] pwszStoreName
Null-terminated Unicode string that contains the name of the physical store.
