Can I 'delete' useless tokens from my wallet?

[Krabby]

You can move these tokens to other addresses, but I believe you will have to spend money to make transactions. If you don't want to burden others, just create a new address and send the entire shitcoin there.

Is it possible to remove tokens from dead projects/tokens that are totally useless and worth $0 from my wallet? Do I just send them to a random address? I don't want to burden anyone else with those shitcoins 

Yeah you can do that but of course you have to cover the fees if ever there is, so its better not to move it and no more fees. There are coins/tokens like this and its true that we feel annoyed every time we saw that useless token, but we can’t do about it and let’s just admit that we just waste out time for that token and stay it on a wallet but if you don’t mind the fees then do it.

Why are you wasting Gas doing those transactions. It is best to leave it in your wallet because it will not affect you at all, maybe one day those tokens will be valid.

Just let them I have over 100 shitcoins in my main wallet and if I have some time I checked these shitcoins if they are listed in exchanges and some of these coins are listed and I dump it to get rip of it, don't lose hope on these shitcoins they might have value in the future even small values.

[jrrsparkles]

Sure, you can send them to whatever address you want, but why? You'll use gas for no good reason... I have about 10 dead tokens, i really don't care. I just ignore them.

I believe he is talking about Meta Maska or MEW or some other wallet interface.

I found a tutorial here about how to hide the tokens you don't want to see anymore.
https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/pull/4482

There is no need to spend gas sending them.

Every bounty hunter should have to take a look at this guide which can be helpful for you guys to hide your shitcoins without spending any money.

Thanks for the link, I didn't know it before.

Makes sense, thanks! I just wanted to clean it up a little in the Etherscan drop down, so I don't need to search so much for tokens I care about

Trust me, you are just going to spend some dollars for nothing.
Before I had that same problem with my ethereum address which made me feel uncomfortable because I want to see instantly those with value.
I got like 50 different tokens which was earned from airdrops before.

Better not waste your ethereum for gas. Just let it be. Soon, you will just know what to ignore and what is not. 

[bussybuddy]

I think it's possible, but why do you have to pay ETH to be able to move these invalid tokens? I think that is not a smart act. Just leave the tokens there, I believe it will never hurt your wallet

[DDante]

You can only delete the token from the list on your wallet not from your eth address, if you really want to get rid of your tokens you need to send them out to unknown address

[Chrystora123]

deleting tokens from wallet cannot, it would be more if you just created a new wallet, don't make difficult the real easy thing..

Sure, you can send them to whatever address you want, but why? You'll use gas for no good reason... I have about 10 dead tokens, i really don't care. I just ignore them.

transferring to another wallet is a waste of work and throwing away money, ignoring that is much better.. 

[Maackayon1]

It's better to just leave them . It's wasting of double effort. You will use your eth as gas to send out worthless tokens. I always leave them in my own wallet.

I would suggest doing otherwise, you never know which one will ever go up and will worth something one day. I had a coin that stayed dormant for 3 years, three whole years and it didn't worth anything, it wasn't listed anywhere and it was basically all around totally worthless for three years, not even 1 satoshi because it wasn't even listed.

One day someone else took over the project and did some stuff and networked and so forth and that coin suddenly started to worth 40 satoshi, that was one of the greatest comebacks of any coin I have ever seen after such a fall and I sold them over a thousand dollars and even made a profit. Don't get me wrong that rarely ever happens but considering it doesn't cost you anything to keep them there, it makes no sense to get rid of them. Worst case if you want it for just the looks of it, get another wallet and put all the worthless ones there and keep your original one clean.

Some people love order more then anything and is worth to them way more then a bit of gas. Probably better would be to send all good tokens to fresh wallet and leave useless behind on wallet he still have aces to for just in case. 

[cizatext]

It can be so annoying seeing all those shit coins/tokens in your wallet, any ways you can only send them to random address as you said or better still send them out to any body willing to keep waiting forever for better days on their market

I have been really thinking about disposing shitty tokens off my wallet for so long, but there is nothing like delete in myether wallet, I would prefer to waste gas and send them to any random wallet than sending them to a wallet I still hold the private key in the name of separation, do you know why? I have a bounty that I got over 200k of its token but its not worth $1 I can't keep such shit in another random wallet.

[Balili]

I think the better solution is to use a new (safer) address for your ETH and leave worthless ERC20 tokens in the old address. That way, you only move your coin once.

Or you can set your wallet to not displaying your worthless tokens; in other words, your tokens are still there but not displayed.

I think it's just to go by this suggestion, I recently stopped checking my MEW because it's full of shitty tokens. I wish they can be removed totally without even being a burden to someone else if you send it out to any random wallet address.

So for you, it is more of psychological detachment from the bounty token and you want to forget that you wasted effort. Why not just hide it as suggested by bitmover here? You can't see that token anymore and not spending any gas fees.

For me I did not delete it Im just let them in my wallet for a time to comeback again but if not Ill change another wallet if I have to. Sometime in our wallet are full of shitcoins coming from airdrop we participated and no value even do we hold it for so long. So if we want to get more altcoins and not being useless we need to carefully to choose so that we cannot let them throw away because of no prices or not listed in exchange.

would you mind tell if how long you usually wait for your coins to have a value  because here ive been waiting forever but still my coins only grow a tiny percent and im now starting to get pissed off or loose hope  . why would you also change another wallet  ? you can just leave them there tho and its not bothering at all . or if you have extra eth , you can just send them somewhere  then voila you wallet is clean again   . there is now way to perfectly pick a project that wont turn into waste so you have to accept that some coins you will be getting can have a zero value too

Sending the useless tokens to 0x000 ETH litter bin is my preference instead of looking at the same coins. The prices on the small exchange don't mean anything for me because the volume is not big for reaching the high prices. If we are in the bear market, waiting for the bulls to overtake the market will change many minds.

[CryptoCrawler_2017]

You can send them to any burning ERC20 address & foget about them.
I personally don't get so much bothered about those shit coins / airdrop i get, i won't even spend some penny as GAZ to send them to a burning address.
Just leave them man, they won't hurt your wallet lol.

I would suggest that you should not make a hasty decision like that. Just recently, people were talking about projects that were thought of to be a scam or shit and yet became what people started talking about all of a sudden, because they proved they could succeed, even amidst difficulties.
Let it be there and even if you feel like transferring it or not seeing it you just go for another or fresh wallet. You never can tell, in a few moment's, you might see it listed and trading at a good price, with good volume.
