I have been searching on the SR forums and Google but have had no luck yet.
The setup is running true crypt on a usb drive. GnuPG is installed on the encrypted usb drive and runs just fine.
However, twice now it has been uninstalled and when reinstalled, the keys appear automatically e.g. they are being stored somewhere.
I would like to know where the keys are stored. Is it on my computers HDD or on the usb somewhere? I cannot see anything anywhere.
Clearly if it is on the computers HDD then I would like to get rid of them.
Any tips would be great. Thanks ;D

They're in %APPDATA%\gnupg

Thanks for the help ;D
For anyone else who's interested in moving public/private keys off their HDD and onto USB follow these simple tutorials here:

If an idiot like me can figure it out anyone can!!!
This way if LEOs take your computer, they won't be able to see any keys you may have used as they will be stored on your encrypted and hidden usb drive.
