What to do if I accidentally deleted my wallet?

Can I recover a deleted wallet?

No - once a wallet is deleted from your device, it cannot be recovered directly. The only way to restore access to your funds is by using your secret recovery phrase to restore the wallet.

What happens to my funds when I delete a wallet?

Deleting a wallet only removes the data from your device. Your funds remain safely on the blockchain. To access them again, you must restore the wallet using your recovery phrase.

Can the Wraith Wallet team recover a deleted wallet for me?

No. Wraith Wallet is a non-custodial wallet, which means you are the sole custodian of your keys and funds. The Wraith Wallet team cannot:

Recover your recovery phrase

Access your wallet

Retrieve funds from a deleted wallet

I don’t have my recovery phrase. Can I still recover my wallet?

No. Without your recovery phrase, there is no way to restore your wallet or access your funds. This is why backing up your recovery phrase is absolutely essential.

How do I prevent losing access in future?

Always make sure you keep your recovery phrase safe before deleting or reinstalling your wallet. Best practices include:

Writing it down on paper and storing it securely

Using a trusted, encrypted password manager

Keeping multiple copies in separate safe locations

⚠️ Important Your recovery phrase is the only way to restore your wallet and regain access to your funds. Protect it as if it were cash or jewellery. Losing it means losing your assets permanently.
