How to Delete Coinbase Wallet

If you’re looking to delete your Coinbase wallet, there are a few things you need to know. First, deleting your Coinbase wallet will also delete any associated data to your account. Secondly, you can only delete a Coinbase wallet from your desktop – you cannot delete a Coinbase wallet from the mobile app. Finally, once you’ve deleted your Coinbase wallet, there is no way to recover it.

How to Delete Coinbase Wallet

To delete your Coinbase wallet:

1. Visit your Coinbase Profile page on your browser and log into your account.
2. Scroll down to the bottom of page and click Close Account.
3. Enter your password.
4. Click the Close Account button.

Before you delete your Coinbase account, you’ll remove all funds from your account. Your balance must be 0. Also, keep in mind that closing your account is permanent and can’t be undone. However, you can create a new account at any time if you wish to return to Coinbase.

Another way to effectively delete your Coinbase Wallet is by uninstalling the app and discarding your recovery phrase. Doing this will make your wallet totally inaccessible to anyone. You can find some more information on the official Coinbase website.

Coinbase Wallet is effectively self-custody, meaning you control your own funds and own your key. Coinbase has no control over those funds, unlike typical exchange wallets. Your key, your crypto, as the saying goes. It’s best practice not to leave your crypto on an exchange, as if something were to happen to that exchange, like, say, bankruptcy, your funds would go “poof!”
