Trouble?

  • The list shows No descriptors saved. → nothing is saved for this wallet. See Import a multisig descriptor.

  • The same wallet name is listed twice, one with ALL → one copy is for this wallet, one for all wallets. Delete both if you want it gone everywhere.

  • A row you deleted is still there, now marked ALL → you deleted the wallet-only copy; open the ALL row and delete it too.
