Simple question: I've used several burner feather wallets to transfer from my wallet to the market. Is there anyway to delete them? I promise I looked over every setting and option and dont see a way to delete. would like to just to clean up opsec and not have a bunch of wallets when I load up feather.

Maybe check here? https://docs.featherwallet.org/

I looked through it but didn't see anything about deleting a wallet but it does mention files so you could probably delete those files permanently with CLI maybe.

You can delete the wallet file but you can never delete the actual wallet. If you have the seed words, it can be restored.

Thanks for the info. I read it over and doesn't seem a way to remove it besides deleting the files from my directory. Should be good enough opsec for now.

Thank you. I took the route you suggested. Deleted all uneeded wallet files. Best way to handle it.

Yeah as I was reading that it sounds like that's deleting the wallets. Just a question. Do you keep feather on your tailsOS that you use to do purchases?

I just use Tails. I make a new FeatherWallet for Each order process. Then if I have leftovers, move to the new wallet. So I just have One XMR Wallet seed written down, at a time.
