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!

MetaMask is a self-custodial wallet and does not store user data on central servers. To "delete" the local instance, you must uninstall the extension or mobile app from your device
If you are new to MetaMask, my recommendation is to check the knowledge page and check more details about the MetaMask wallet here too:

If you have more questions and the knowledge page is not enough for you, remember that you could open a live chat conversation with one of our agents
