Can I 'delete' useless tokens from my wallet?

[tvplus006]

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 

You can't remove token from wallet, I think you just need transfer your tokens that still have value to new wallet, and leave the dead project token or worthless token from your wallet

There is no point in creating a new wallet every time you get a token with a zero price. If you participate in bounties and airdrops, you will have many more such tokens. Just learn not to notice them, especially since it is possible to make them invisible.

Arrgh, I hate these scam tokens piling up at my address. And you know what, as opposed to what most people are telling, you can't transfer all those tokens to other address. Some tokens have transfer locks in their contracts and if u try to transfer them your transaction will fail. This is what I dislike the most. My address and I can't even choose to kick out tokens I don't like. As for gas fees, ya sure you need to spend it, but if you can send these tokens to other address and keep ur main address neat and clean, then it's sure worth the few cents of fees spent.

You can send them to any waste wallet or just sample ignore/hide 

Very simple thinking, if someone sends a garbage token to another wallet, it will cost gas / shipping costs, and ignoring or hiding the token in the wallet is the way lazy people who do not want to see or find out how to burn the trash token.

If you are talking about ERC20 tokens, yes, you can delete tokens that you do not want in your wallet. But I do not understand why you want to do such a thing, although it is a terrible project, it will not make much sense to delete it. Maybe one day those tokens you delete will inflate like balloons and then you will feel regret, who knows. I do not recommend you to delete it

Yeah I have 1.6M goal tokens, lets hope you are right.

I only wanted a dollar each for them.

Yup, you can delete any worthless tokens from your wallet. I have done that with Trust Wallet (that’s the only wallet I have been using since I experienced that). There was an airdrop I participated in, the name is Cubechain (QUB) and after I was inactive and they sent the tokens to my Trust wallet address. I just don’t know what happened , but by the time I logged back to Trust wallet, I saw 500 QUB's that are worth zero dollars lol.

I removed the token by clicking the Plus (+) sign at the top right corner of the app. Once you open the page you will see every active coins and tokens in your wallet and you can deactivate whatever you want.

You cannot delete any token at all from your wallet, either useful or useless, either trust or imtoken wallet, you cannot delete any token.

If you want to stop seeing those coins, you can just simply remove it from the list of your top coins in the wallet. The token will still show on etherscan.io irregardless of (temporary) removal from wallet

Just click the + sign on the wallet, and - such tokens

But if you need token later in the future, click the + sign as well, and add the token back by clicking the + sign.

You can create a new wallet. Send there (with lowest available gas) tokens that you think worth or would worth something and post your private key in some public place. I'm sure there will be people who will wish grab these useless tokens. Or create a giveaway of your wallet with useless tokens

[sangjoewara]

If you are using a mobile wallet like Trust Wallet, you can set up the coins you do not want to be shown in your wallet. If you want to remove some tokens completely, the only way is to send them to another wallet or smart contract.

Yes, and that is only specific to wallet users via their smart phones, whereas when they open through ethplorer and etherscan, everything will also appear again, and sending junk tokens to other wallets will only waste your own gas / fee.

[lienfaye]

You have a choice if you want to get rid of them. Send to other addresses (but you have to pay for gas), choose not to display them so it wont visible but still there existing or create another wallet to start over.

I have few worthless tokens but I just leave it there, well its a memory of my past joined/invested projects so seeing them is not that bad. Who knows it might regain its value in the future.

[Natalim]

Why do you have to send it to the address, just let that stay in your wallet, who knows when the bull run comes that coin will pump, then you will enjoy a good profit, you know regret will always come in the end, but we know this market is very unpredictable, if in the past, dead coins pump, I think it could possibly happen this coming bull run.

[kaneki007]

Make a new address to make the useless token and forget the private key also you do not want to send random addresses. I've also done that for just a few tokens, now I better leave it in the wallet as a collection haha , because it will dispose of ETH as well as gas.

I think that if there are tokens that are useless, there is no need to throw them away and if you make a new wallet just to store tokens that have an estimated value it will only make you confused one day and of course you will lose shipping costs because you use ethereum for costs. shipping, it's better to leave it alone and hope that the token wallet has a valid estimated value.

If you have plenty of those shit tokens like me in your wallet let them be in there, if you send it randomly the you have to spend eth for gas. It is better than to make another wallet address if you don't like seeing them instead of spending some gas for no reasons at all.

[carlisle1]

No mate. That's not possible rather what you will have to do is create another wallet address, send tokens you wish not to see in your main wallet to the new address by so doing, you get to see only tokens you want in your main wallet. There's no option to delete or remove tokens on the blockchain aside transferring it to another wallet address.

Good point at least he still have the tokens though it was carried in another wallet and this will save OP if ever the tokens he wishes to delete appears to have value in future because i believe that this happens before.

Just create a new wallet and transfer everything useful to there

same advice from what i quoted above you.

Make a new address to make the useless token and forget the private key also you do not want to send random addresses. I've also done that for just a few tokens, now I better leave it in the wallet as a collection haha , because it will dispose of ETH as well as gas.

why nee to create new address when he can just send to random addresses that he can find in some spreadsheets in altcoin bounty section.

You can't do that, and I think you, like me before, also wanted to delete very low-value coins from your wallet and didn't want to see them.

But there are projects that seem to be dead one day, the development team has been revived and maybe those coins have brought you great profits. If you really don't want to see it, you should create a new wallet. Do not waste ETH fee to transfer it to another wallet

[Crypto5060]

I don't think it's possible, with some apps you can hide the tokens but it won't be deleted from the wallet. What I do is send valuable tokens to a different and leave the worthless ones in another wallet

[Jocuserious]

Actually i have not try it right now so i can't tell you, but i am now thinking about it' why you need delete unless token?
It's the clearly there are many unless token have still our wallet but we can't never upset. Because you need to focus next good coins and just thinking avoid death coin. Even we know 80% of death coins come from scam project and airdrop.

[Danslip]

Dead altcoins are airdropped for promotion and marketing purposes, these altcoins are not reliable. Burning these tokens is necessary for me because the dust coins cost a time to check every time when I open my ETH address. For burning sending tokens to this address is ok: 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

As a person with a slight OCD, I think I can understand why someone needs to do that. For me, those useless token looks distracted and I just want them to go away, tidy up which token I need to keep track and whatnot. Kinda hard to explain but like every day you take a look at your address and see that same shit token again and you need to do something to clean up.

Unfortunately, this is the only method available for those who use ERC-20 platforms right now. And I regard this as one of the drawbacks of this platform. I used to be very active in airdrops and bounty campaigns, and as a result I receive a lot of spam tokens (i.e promotional tokens) in my ERC-20 address. I can't get rid of them, as there is no option to delete them. If I move the good tokens to another wallet, then I need to pay the transaction fee.
