Title: Delete wallet on Android Post by: dwitten on July 23, 2018, 06:02:07 PM Hi all,
I have v3.2.1 installed on an Android/Samsung phone. I created several test wallets before finally funding a wallet, and I would like to delete the test wallets. I cannot find them anywhere on my device, including the hidden files. I can't even find a "wallet" folder. Any help appreciated. I'm sure it's simple, but between my file searching and my googling, I'm stumped. Thanks Title: Re: Delete wallet on Android Post by: dwitten on July 23, 2018, 09:56:22 PM Disregard. I found the delete button within the wallet(s) that I wanted to delete.

the wallet files were stored inside the android phone's internal system data folder, not in the internal storage (root access is required) Found this by using google search: I just downloaded the electrum wallet on android. And since my smartphone is rooted then I tried to google also but never see an answer on it. So I tried to navigate it on my own and found it on /data/data/org.electrum.electrum/files/data/wallets then there's "default_wallet" file there. So you need to have a jailbreak/rooted phone to navigate it.

Three years later and this is still difficult to find. The data location seems to have changed, or varies between phones. OP found solution in-app but doesn't share. Meanwhile, the thread gets indexed by Google and becomes a top result for searches related to deleting Electrum wallets on android. And is the only one referencing an in-app solution Relevant XKCD (https://m.xkcd.com/979/ (https://m.xkcd.com/979/)) on us. It's just as frustrating when someone posts for help then later says "nvm found it" not realizing that others might have had the same question and their thread then becomes the top result - with no answer :( Anyway, took me 10 minutes or so to find it. You have to open the wallet, then tap on the wallet name itself in the top left. You cannot rename it but you can delete it. For future Googlers. Title: Re: Delete wallet on Android Post by: Text on November 02, 2020, 09:19:25 AM I also went to this thread to find a way how to delete the wallet on android electrum. In case you still can't get it, here I will provide screenshots: I also didn't get it right away.
