Hello!
I’m using Fully Noded wallet on mobile and I’ve deleted a wallet. But the app tells me that I’ll also need to delete the wallet from my node as well, otherwise it’ll still be stored on the node. How do I delete a wallet from Bitcoin Knots?
Hi The Doctor
When you create a wallet in Fully Noded connected to Bitcoin Knots, the node stores the wallet’s descriptor and transaction history, but your private keys remain only on your mobile device. Deleting the wallet in Fully Noded removes it from your phone but does not delete it from the node, so the wallet data remains on Bitcoin Knots.
On StartOS, to fully delete a wallet from Bitcoin Knots, you need to use the command line interface (CLI) and manually remove the wallet file from the node’s wallet directory, as the StartOS service does not support wallet deletion. Alternatively, uninstalling Bitcoin Knots entirely from StartOS will also remove all wallets stored on the node, which is a quicker way if you want to clear everything related to the node at once. Hope it helps a bit.
