/var/lib/salt/.ssh/known_hosts does not exists

[Autoflow]

We are using Uyuni Podman 2024.12 and just changed the ssh key of a registered Debian System.
We removed the system from the systems list (Uyuni UI), stopped venv salt minion on the client, removed /etc/venv-salt-minion/pki/minion/minion.pem and /etc/venv-salt-minion/pki/minion/minion.pub and restarted the salt minion.

When accepting the salt key, we get following notice: Onboarding failed,Error registering minion id

#tail -f /var/log/salt/master says:
2025-01-02 12:05:56,833 [salt.channel.server:379 ][ERROR ][5982] Authentication attempt from HOST failed, the public keys did not match. This may be an attempt to compromise the Salt cluster.

Can someone please help where to remove the old ssh key please?

The HOME for user salt is /var/lib/salt/ . You can remove the key from the known_host file in /var/lib/salt/.ssh/known_hosts.

Thanks very much so far.
As suggested i did this:

#mgrctl term
#cd /var/lib/salt/.ssh/

There is no known_hosts file, the directory .ssh is empty.

Can someone please help and tell me the correct location?
