In Keychain, look in "My Certificates" and in "Certificates" on the Sidebar. Does the item have a red x on it? FWIW I have no certificate like that. Also all my iCloud certificates are spelled "cloudd" with two d's. I'd drag that one to the Desktop and test. All you should need is your Apple ID.

Thanks for the info. Certificate does have red X along with expired certificates. But this one is not expired. My security does not recognize the signer. Think it is safe to delete it?
