4. Remove wallet from Linux

Remove wallet from Linux

  • C

    Hi,
    I have installed Sia on my linux and did not understand that I need to select custom phrase in order to select my own password.
    I have tried to remove the program and re-download & install it in order to get to the start screen and select a password. But every time I open it the program remembers my old wallet and asks for the old 29 word long password :
    I have tried to reset the password using the terminal, and could not select a custom phrase.

    When encountering this problem in Windows I just deleted the Sia folder in AppData, In linux I cannot find where it keeps any cache....

    Does anyone know how to overcome this?
    Thanks!

    Assuming you're using the GUI application It's stored in .config in your home directory.

    Take a look at ~/.config/Sia-UI
    The wallet is in ~/.config/Sia-UI/sia/wallet

    I think if you just delete the file/folder it should create a new one next time you start up.
    Bear in mind the blockchain file is in ~/.config/Sia-UI/sia/consensus so if you remove that it'll need to be downloaded again.

    Make a copy of ~/.config/Sia-UI before you do anything.
