Help Post: Recover Deleted Blockchain Public Address

[pallab2014]

Dear Friend,

I need a help, If you can. I want to restore or recovery my existing blockchain account's previous public address. I deleted the old one accidentally.
Is there any way to restore/recovery my previous public address?

If I get you rightly, you have an address on blockchain.com wallet, like the address has changed now to another? And you want to know the former address.

Or you want to recover back you blockchain.com's account?

My public address was 1KkPpMarp1H9xd4XsxNpeNX1BbRv8eaVk3,  it had .005 something balance. But I accidentally changed the the previous one with the new one. And I lost the balance also, when I search the address in blockchain explorer than it shows balance 0 and also my current balance is 0.

The last bitcoin transaction related to this above address was on 8th 07, 2019. And, the final balance you are having is zero (0), you do not have Bitcoin on that addre anymoress. But, possibly you are confusing it with Bitcoin Cash, you still have 0.00547629 BCH ($4.36 with the current Bitcoin Cash price at $796), so far you have been able to make transaction using the wallet, you should be to spend the Bitcoin Cash using your (the same) Blockchain.com wallet.

So, if the amount seen on your wallet is approximately $4.36, it is the amount of Bitcoin Cash you have on it, not Bitcoin (and you expecting the amount to be more because of high Bitcoin price), you have not bitcoin.

Your bitcoin transactions and final balance on blockchain explorer:

Your bitcoin cash transactions and final balance on blockchain explorer:
https://www.blockchain.com/bch/address/1KkPpMarp1H9xd4XsxNpeNX1BbRv8eaVk3

Or, you still insist your balance is 0? Or, lower than what you are expecting?

Blockchain.com gives you an HD wallet which means there will be a set of words. Using those words (12 word seed) you can restore the wallet using Electrum. You need to make sure that you have selection BIP 39 at some point when it will ask you to mark it. Once you restore the wallet then you can see all your addresses and balance in the wallet.

You can try it.

For restoring your account you will need to have backup and know your password and recovery phrase words.
All your previously used addresses for Blockchain.com website can be find under Wallets & Addresses, then Archived Bitcoin Addresses section, and clicking Unarchive will make all addresses visible and usable again if you want.

Last transaction for that address was in 2019 and everything was sent out, but maybe you had more coins on other addresses.

You spent the last of the Bitcoins that were sent to the address about 2 years ago. Maybe blockchain wallet was showing you wrong balance as if you still had the 0.005 BTC due to syncing problems (because blockchain explorers rarely lie), or perhaps you saw the 0.005 BCH that's still there thinking it's BTC.

The OP is confusing Bitcoin for Bitcoin cash, possibly because he has not accessed the wallet for a long time, he had zero (0) Bitcoin balance but 0.00547 BCH balance. So, he can forget and later thinking it is Bitcoin. Like I have explained above.

Probably I forgot which coin I had? If I have bch, but my account shows 0 balance on BCH wallet.

You need to make sure the seed phrase to the wallet is the exact seed phrase. Or, did you use another seed phrase? You need to find that out. It has been long you use that wallet, and likely you have the address, but you do not yet know where you store the seed phrase, that is the reason your balance is not appearing because you did not import the actual seed phrase but different one that gives you another private keys and addresses entirely.

I will like not to be further much about this, just get the seed phrase, import it on Electron Cash, if zero (0) balance still appear, that is not your old wallet seed phrase to the address you pasted above.

Aight. Lemme write a detailed one in case you're confused @op

First check if the address if from your blockchain.com wallet by checking the list of addresses in your wallet, you can do this thru Settings -> Wallets & Addresses -> (choose which bitcoin account) -> Manage -> Used Addresses (show). If confirmed it is, proceed reading otherwise you'd need to figure out which wallet the address is from first.

For security, I would recommend moving all your funds from blockchain.com to another wallet as we are exposing your private keys and yes, don't use this wallet anymore. When that is done, download electron cash (https://electroncash.org/) triple check you are on the right website and take time to verify the authenticity of your wallet file (tutorial)

In electron cash, File -> New/Restore -> Standard Wallet ->  I already have a seed -> type in your 12-word backup phrase -> follow the instructions for legacy Bitcoin addresses (which is m/44'/0'/0' but do note that if the address is in your second btc account the last number should be '1' and 2 for 3rd and so on...) and done you should be able access your BCH

By default electron cash uses the CashAddr format for its addresses so don't get surprised if you see 'qrx6wvj6gz07ma8jwmh3ydg98ryvkel37vrtkykqek' instead of '1KkPpMarp1H9xd4XsxNpeNX1BbRv8eaVk3' cause that's its CashAddr format. You can change it in the preferences although I wouldn't recommend it as it helps avoiding cross-chain sent coins.
