Title: Deleting Adress from Wallet
Post by: tronic1704 on December 14, 2013, 03:07:23 AM
Hello, i´m missing a funktion to delete unused adresses from a wallet.

When i create new different wallets, then i get new adresses per wallet.

In the next step, i import my different private keys from Blockchain-Wallet into my different new Wallets.

So i have the new generated adresses and my imported adresses per wallet.

Now i wish to delete the newly generated adresses from every wallet so, that i have only my imported adresses.

Did anywhere here have an idea to realize it?

Thanks.

Hi tronic1704

There isn't a way to delete addresses in MultiBit.
Deleting addresses (and wallets too actually) unfortunately creates too many problems when people delete them, and then subsequently someone sends bitcoin to that address.

I'm actually taking out the (currently hidden) delete wallet option entirely as unfortunately a small number of people have deleted wallets with, say, a change address in and lost bitcoin.

You clearly know what the consequences are of deleting things are but in general it is not a 'safe' option to add in.
