What you can do

Archive a wallet

Archive a wallet you no longer use. Control Center stops tracking it but keeps its history.
  1. Open the wallet. Select Archive Account.
  2. Read the message. Select Archive.
Archive is greyed out if Control Center can’t read the current balance. You see “We could not determine this account’s current balance.” Check your Electrum connection, then try again.
Archive Account? dialog with Cancel and Archive buttons

Archiving keeps the wallet's history.

If the wallet still holds Bitcoin, your total will drop by that amount. The funds are still in your wallet. Control Center just stops counting them.
Archived wallets appear under Archived at the bottom of Accounts. From there:
  • Restore brings the wallet back.
  • Delete Permanently removes it and all its history. This can’t be undone.
Past balances of archived wallets still show in your All accounts history.

Abandon an unfinished wallet

A pending wallet has an Abandon button. It removes the wallet and its history. Use it to cancel a setup you don’t want to finish.
Abandon Account Setup? dialog

Abandon removes an unfinished setup.

Remove an exchange, manual, or ETF account

Open the account. Select Remove Account.
  • Manual Bitcoin asks first. Select Remove to confirm.
  • Exchanges and ETFs are removed immediately, with no confirmation.
This deletes the account and all its history. There is no undo. For Strike, imported statements are deleted too.

Add the same wallet again

Adding a wallet you archived takes you to Archived. Restore it there. Adding a wallet that’s already in Control Center opens that account. With a device or Manually Sign, you’re asked to sign again. It never creates a duplicate. Adding an Unverified wallet again with your device, Multisig, or Manually Sign lets you sign for it. See Verify a tracked wallet later.
