If you are getting a nautilus error, you have not run the command from a
terminal, you are in nautilus.  If you want to do it that way, you will have
to turn on the view hidden files toggle (in the view menu I think).  Any
file beginning with a '.' is "hidden".  If you are viewing your home
directory and turn on that toggle, you should be able to see the .gnome2
folder/directory and if you double click that you should see its contents
including a folder named "keyrings".  If you double click that you should
see any keyrings you have (easier from the terminal huh?).  At that point,
if you want to try the suggested deletions, click on them and hit the delete
key.
