If you revoked the key, and not just the user id, you have to start over
with a new key, especially if you published the revocation anywhere.
Once you send a revoked key to the keyservers, it's game over for that
key, by design.

You don't really have to delete it, you can just generate a new one
using the same name and e-mail address.
