From doing a bit of digging with core it seems you can decide whether you want to use a wallet file. Or a wallet folder. I think purpose is a newer version of the wallet name parameter I can see when I put the getwalletinfo in my version of core. If you specify a folder instead of a file the purpose or name field will allow you to work out which wallet you're viewing information for.

I've really appreciate the digging to the rabbit hole and helping me, I'll be locking the thread now!

What I don't understand here is to the point I've not made any purpose to all of my wallet.dat file but this one is really into somethin' I quite don't figure out or did I just describe this wallet your purpose is unknown remembered that core!
it is listed as unknown and not just an empty "string" did I specify that wallet name to be unknown
It looks to be the name you ascribe to your wallet. Is it listed as unknown or just an empty string ""?
If it's an empty string then you can rename it to what you want it's just an additional functionality to allow you to use more than one wallet and quickly understand which one you're using...

What I've done is not the my actual wallet but on the other person wallet the only difference between this sample output to mine was my wallet have a "purpose" on line and the output of that line was unknown
Is purpose autocorrected from something? I don't see it in the output?
I've tried to getwalletinfo my wallet.dat on Bitcoin core console and happen to get this info just like this
"version" : 110200,
"protocolversion" : 70002,
"walletversion" : 60000,
"balance" : 305.11300817,
"blocks" : 406061,
"timeoffset" : -75,
"connections" : 10,
"proxy" : "",
"difficulty" : 166851513282.77719116,

"relayfee" : 0.00005000,
"errors" : ""
except my wallet have a "purpose" and is f*cking unknown as the core said
why would I give the wallet a purpose or how did this happen any idea cause I don't have any idea on this one as far as I remembered I don't specify my wallet to have a purpose any help would do,
