^ deleting it is impossible, but you can give that useless token to other people by sending it, but don't you feel a loss with the gas fee that will be charged to you.

Sending to other people is not a good option, reason being that, the team might decide to revive the project and boom you miss out. Also, you can just decide to turn off or hide the token, some wallets like Trust wallet and imtoken have that function. I see no reason why someone should send out tokens considered useless to others, because he doesn't want to see the tokens in his wallet.

deleted? maybe if you work with developer you can delete / burn the token. isn't making the wallet free? You don't have to send your token to someone else but just use another wallets. and, forget it!!
prepare Gass to do it.

Yes you can deleted unless tokens from your wallet. Just send a unknown address and it's done. But you need gas fee. Why you want to lose your fee for this unless tokens? You can use new one. I think deleting is not important. I think useless coins may become valuable tomorrow.

Just let it be and you can ignore it anyway by hiding it if you are using trust wallet features included in the app. I have many shitcoins in my wallet though and i don't even bother removing it because for me it is already part of my crypto journey as a memorabilia or remembrance of my hardwork to get that tokens on airdrops or bounties. If you transfer it to random addresses is also fine but it will cost gas fees. So better don't mind and just let it be.

if you don't want to burden other people you can create a new wallet and send all valuable tokens to that wallet and leave the old wallet, because the tokens that are there you cannot delete

I once also thought about this problem and looked for various solutions and only one solution was found, you can create another wallet and send there all the tokens that you no longer need, but I did not do this, I just got used to this already long time ago and it doesn't bother me, but if these unnecessary tokens make you very nervous, so you can use this option.

No need to do that, but if you want you can sent it to the 0x000000 address or something. but it doesn't do anything bad right? so just store it maybe it will have value soon.

Obviously you can send it to someone's address. But you need to pay the transaction fee for doing so. Are you willing to spend some of your money, to get rid of some worthless tokens? That suggestion itself is self-contradictory. I don't understand the issue in having a large number of tokens in the wallet. It may cause some discomfort, but I would say that I would bear this discomfort rather than wasting my hard earned coins in moving them.

Can you explain to me what's the difference in keeping useless tokens in your wallet and removing them? Are there any pros and cons? I personally have lots of tokens which are already dead but I still keep them in my wallet cuz why not Grin

it's good to remember from time to time about certain tokens, how you acquired them, what your mistakes were (for e.g why did not sell them when the projects was still running etc.). Like, is there a limit how many tokens my wallet can hold? I think not.

You can send your token to this ethereum address 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dead
usually I use this address to delete tokens but I prefer not to burn my tokens because at any time the project can be continued and has a very good price, because there are some projects that seem to be a scam but are resumed with a better team

Altcoin season is coming, if you send those shitcoins away you will regret, I could remember that many shitcoins became profitable in 2017 when altcoins start surging so hold your shitcoins or download a new wallet for stepping shitcoins only

I was about to say that, hahaha... I'm also checking back my old coins now, who knows they would pump, and that trash can become a money for us. No deleting for me, I will let it rot in my wallet if it will not pump, but you know when we are in bull run, even shitcoins do pumped. Grin

Is it possible to remove tokens from dead projects/tokens that are totally useless and worth $0 from my wallet? Do I just send them to a random address? I don't want to burden anyone else with those shitcoins Cheesy

I also want to get rid of these shitcoins. But I think about gas fees.

If you want to remove these dead tokens just send them to burning address.

Burning Addresses

Ethereum : 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dead

Tron Blackhole Address: TLsV52sRDL79HXGGm9yzwKibb6BeruhUzy

Binance Chain: bnb1ultyhpw2p2ktvr68swz56570lgj2rdsadq3ym2

To burn or remove tokens you need to pay gas fees. Now gas fee is higher on Ethereum Network. So why to pay gas fees for those shitcoins. It's better to untick tokens from you Wallet.

I would advice against deleting coins from your wallet. Sure you could ask the admin to remove them for you, but why? They don't hurt you and might even be used again in the future. We never know if an old project might get pushed again. And maybe your coins become a lot more worth again in the future. So if you really need to get rid of them, just try to sell them or as them to be removed.

What admin are you talking about that can delete token on his wallet? There is no way that a token can be deleted on his wallet unless the creator coded the token to self destruct via smart contract. But technically there is no delete function on crypto wallet for the shit token unless he sends it to blackhole address just like what the typical crypto project do b when burning token.

This topic should be locked since the OP already received enough answer for his question.

You can delete tokens from your wallet without getting rid of the tokens completely, just delete the smart contracts and add again when you need the tokens to appear again, or send the tokens from your wallet to another crypto wallet

Just know that shitcoins can still bring good value in future, I don't advice you to send the tokens to unknown address

Yes, I think it is possible but you don't need to send it to a random address. You are just wasting some of your money for transaction fees. There will be nothing wrong if you will keep it for a while, it is not a burden right? Just keep it in your wallet maybe someday it may have a high value just like any other coins though these shit coins can really be annoying if it will not have any value in the future.

That would be one of the easiest way to get rid of them since some of those shitcoins cannot be sold and looking for an exchange to sell them would take too much time. You can just ignore those Shitcoins since it would also be fine to leave those coins there so that you can keep track of Old Tokens that might have a same name with incoming new projects.

You can just send the token to any address but of course you will only spend the gas fees you have to throw the token out of your wallet, I think it's better to just leave the junk token to remain in the wallet because it is not something that disturbs but if you are already fed up with seeing these junk token, why not create a new wallet address, and it's easier and also without having to spend the gas we have?

The token that is added by custom you can delete them from your wallet by own. But, the token is showing by default that will remain there forever. But, why you need to delete them. Sometimes the token will grow from 0 to many dollars if the market grows sharply. So, don't bother about the dead coin.

There are series of these altcoins in my wallet and there's nothing i can do with them because they are deadly dead tokens, what we do is to ignore these shitcoins in the wallet forever. Those worthless tokens shouldn't border you dude, becasue abandonment is the right answer now to those dead tokens, don't just check on them period. Next time, don't get involve into these shitholes investment through projects from defi's.
