Title: Wallet History
Post by: jjacob on January 29, 2017, 03:46:01 AM
Hi,

I am using Electrum on Ubuntu. I have a few old wallets which I have deleted from my computer. But they appear in my list of recently opened wallets on Electrum. Is there any way to clear this list?

Inside the config file.  Don't know the exact path for ubuntu but it's located one folder before the wallet files.
Open it in a notepad or something and look for "recently_open".  Delete the list inside the brackets.

On Ubuntu/Linux, it should be located at ~/.electrum/config I believe. Looking in the config, it is interesting that it also stores the console history. That could be a security risk if you do anything with sensitive data within the console. Good to be aware that those commands are also logged.

Thanks! That works.
