Title: Proper way to delete a client/wallet
Post by: The 4ner on June 25, 2013, 07:25:18 PM
Is there one? Or can I just get rid of it by deleting all files having to do with it?

I want to erase the Litecoin-Qt app as it is taking up too much space and I only own 3 cents worth haha!

Any advice is much appreciated.

Yes, just delete the files (wallet.dat is the one that holds your 'account'). If you're extra paranoid, you can 'shred' the files (google "data shredder windows" and you'll find a few).

Delete litecoin-qt and all of that then go to C:\Users\Yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Litecoin and delete everything there and feel free to send me your 3 cents in litecoin =P

I'm using a Mac btw. Sure I'll try that out I'll be sure to send you my coins as well. It's only 3 cents worth but okay. I only want to deal with Bitcoin from now on or at least until Litecoin release and electrum type wallet.

You should be able to find it under ~/Library/Application Support/Litecoin/ in that case
