From all i can tell, they just stay there after they are created.

Correct. You cannot delete receiving addresses. Doing so has no benefits, and would cause you to lose all coins you ever received with that address, as well as any coins you might receive at that address in the future, hence the software does not allow you to even try to do this.

Will pretend to do unspeakable things (while actually eating a taco) for bitcoins: 1K6d1EviQKX3SVKjPYmJGyWBb1avbmCFM4I am not on the scammers' paradise known as Telegram! Do not believe anyone claiming to be me off-forum without a signed message from the above address! Accept no excuses and make no exceptions! |

I'm not sure why you would want to delete the addresses anyways. OP... what is your reason for wanting to remove them? |

I'd still suggest not doing this though. At all. There is no reason I can think of for wanting to delete a receiving address. |

Ok i think i understand now. If i deleted the receiving address, the Bitcoins received at that address would be affected due to built in structure of Bitcoin? Something to do with the transaction ledger/blockchain? So is there anyway i can at least move them out of sight but not delete them? |

Are you never planning to receive anything to any of those addresses again? |

Not yet. I have a public address for almost every Bitcoin account i use. I imagine there will possibly be a time when some of these websites will die and my address book will just more cluttered than necessary. |

I've "recycled" a few of my addresses like that to keep things clean. |

Just as another heads-up, any transactions you've already rec'd with an address will still show the previous "description," so you don't have to worry about confusing your incoming payments either. Ex. if you had one named "Incoming" and it had gotten 0.01 BTC and then you renamed it "Incoming#2" and got another 0.01 BTC, they would each, while having the same address, show their respective description at the time the payment came in. |
