Removing addresses from wallet.dat

[romerun]

Hi, I'd been doing a stupid thing making my wallet full of empty addresses, now the size of wallet.dat is 150MB, and it's noticeably slow occasionally when query thru rpc, I guess the wallet size must be hurting the overall performance. Is there a library that I can use to navigate my wallet, and remove those useless addresses/private keys ?

I think pywallet can do that.

This would work, but if you have a recent backup you can restore to that instead of needing to use pywallet. If not, you should create one both before and after removing the extra addresses.

Yes.

how to do that thing

Unlock your wallet if it is password protected with "walletpassphrase <passphrase> <timeout>"
Export your private keys with "dumpprivkey <bitcoinaddress>"

To import a private key, simply enter "importprivkey <bitcoinprivkey>"
