The certificate mapping can be accessed through the WSMan provider at ‘WSMan:\localhost\ClientCertificate’.

To delete all the mappings run

`Remove-Item -Path WSMan:\localhost\ClientCertificate\* -Force -Recurse`

To delete a mapping for a particular account run

`Remove-Item -Force -Recurse -Path (Get-ChildItem -Path WSMan:\localhost\ClientCertificate\*\UserName | Where-Object { $_.Value -eq "username" }).PSParentPath`

Thanks
