i added a herecura repo and messed up the key now nothing passes the check

i tried to install opera  it asked for a key so rather than importing it, which has never worked for me before (but i see now it can) so i opened a seperate terminal to gpg --receive-key whatever the number was  and gpg --lsign whatever the number was

now nothing i download from herecura repo will pass the check.  how do i fix the key or delete them and start over?
