Title: How to uninstall Electrum Post by: kenstu22 on July 05, 2013, 05:52:24 PM This is a very ignorant noob question. I installed Electrum--works fine.
But I can't find a folder with an uninstall icon nor is it present under control panel-->programs--> uninstall. I want to unistall for two reasons 1) I like being able to know that I can easily uninstall anything 2) I want to test recovering my wallet 2) I figure the best way to secure my wallet is to back up the data and put it on an external drive and/or make a paper copy--then unistall electrum from my computer. That way the wallet lives in a place where it never touches the internet. If I want to do a transaction--then I would just install it again. So where is the flaw in my logic please? Thanks in advance. Title: Re: How to uninstall Electrum Post by: Tachikoma on July 07, 2013, 08:22:45 AM The flaw in your logic is that uninstalling Electrum does not uninstall your wallet.
* To uninstall the application you go to start->Electrum>Uninstall * To remove your wallet file open a explorer and go to c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\Electrum and remove the electrum.dat file Please note that, although it can't hurt, creating backups of your wallet file should not be needed as long as you remember your seed. |
