Title: Deleting An Encrypted Wallet Post by: hiddenhandhiddenfist on December 07, 2011, 11:26:41 PM I downloaded bitcoin and encrypted my wallet with a random string of characters which i copied and saved in a hidden word file, for some reason bitcoin will not accept the password. Thankfully the wallet has no bitcoins in it, but after uninstalling and reinstalling bitcoin in an attempt to reset the wallet is again the one it is using. How do I delete that wallet? I want to start a new one.
