Part 3: Delete

Done

The wallet has its new name or icon, or it is gone from the device and can be restored from its backup.

Trouble?

  • The wallet screen still shows the old name or icon → tap the back chevron to the wallets list and open the wallet again; the list already shows the change.

  • The new name is refused → another wallet already has that name. Pick a different one.

  • Nothing happens when you tap CONFIRM on the delete screen → keep your finger on the button; a short tap does nothing.

  • You deleted the wrong wallet → restore it: from the Main menu, tap WALLETS > ADD WALLET and restore from seed words or ERA card. Any app linked to it keeps working once the wallet is back.
