How to remove the Desktop Wallet files in a manual way

Since the current versions of the Desktop Wallet are not backward compatible, it is required to remove the files manually before upgrading to the next major version.

Points to mention:

• On Mac and Windows the wallet files reside in directories which are not shown by default, yet they can be accessed via a command line interface (see the examples below).
• On Mac and Windows the wallet files reside (by default) in a home directory of the user. In the examples below the user name is alice on all the platforms.
• The suggested commands will unconditionally remove the files, an action which cannot be undone.

On Windows

• Push windows button+R, the Run window will appear. Type cmd and click OK.
• In the window that appears, paste the following command and click enter:

RD /s /q "C:\Users\alice\AppData\Local\Beam Wallet"

On Mac

• Open the Terminal app, paste the following command and click enter:

rm -R "/Users/alice/Library/Application Support/Beam Wallet"

On Linux

• Run the following command in terminal:

rm -R ".local/share/Beam Wallet"
