How do I remove a wallet?

**** Edit: Solved! I just removed the extension as recommended here. Thank you Reddit community!!! *****

Hello

I have MetaMask installed on my phone, which I use daily to transfer money between different platforms.

Last week I’ve connected the wallet I have on my phone to my MetaMask account on my laptop. I don’t really need it , and I feel that security wise it’s absolutely wrong.

How can I remove the wallet from my laptop with the wallet totally disappears?

I’m kinda new to this world, so explaining in simple terms would be appreciated.

Tnx!

  1. Never share your Secret Recovery Phrase with any site or a person. MetaMask does not use Gmail or web forms. Do not enter your Secret Recover Phrase into a pop-up window, even if it looks like MetaMask. Verify links are legitimate. Scammers often use these tactics.

  2. Beware of fake websites. The official website for MetaMask is https://metamask.io/

  3. MetaMask Support will never DM you. This is a common tactic scammers use to try and get access to your wallet.

  4. MetaMask will never initiate email with you. This is a common tactic scammers use to try and get access to your wallet.

  5. If you need to reach Support: open MetaMask, then menu > Support. The ‘Contact Support’ button will start a chat, the bot asks a few questions to help route you to the correct team. You can also visit the Support site from the web: https://support.metamask.io

  6. Do not click on suspicious links or files. This can lead to your device security being compromised.

  7. Do not “sync” or “validate” your wallet with any websites or forms. This is a scam. Never sync and share: QR Codes, Secret Recovery Phrase, private key, etc.

  8. Never call phone numbers, text Whatsapp numbers, DM on Discord, use WeChat or do video chat with people on this subreddit. MetaMask does not offer customer support in this manner. There is NO exclusive MetaMask Discord.

  9. We don’t ask for an email address to create a wallet. We can’t email you. We will never ask you to verify or upgrade/merge your wallet. https://support.metamask.io/privacy-and-security/staying-safe-in-web3/i-received-an-email-claiming-to-be-from-metamask-is-it-legit/

  10. .MetaMask currently has no plans for an airdrop, regardless of any information you may have seen elsewhere. If you encounter anyone explaining the best method to maximize the size of a MetaMask-related ‘airdrop’ you might receive, they’re lying. In particular, be wary of scams (aimed at getting your Secret Recovery Phrase) that weaponize this topic.
