There are some wallets which lets you view only the tokens you wanna view. If you mean by delete the tokens from the address you can send them to the burn address although it will cost you some gas fee.
Personally, I am more willing to leave the token in my wallet instead of having to sacrifice Gas fees for burning tokens, because everyone already knows about Gas fees which are not stable at this time, so they have to pay a little more expensive for each transaction.

I also have some dead tokens in my wallet. These are of on use. I wanted to delete these but couldn’t. Parhaps these can't be deleted. You can open a new wallet if you want or ignore the tokens.

I think there's no deleting of tokens or coins in our wallet. The only way is to make another wallet and send to that address only the tokens that are valuable and leave the ones that has no value, but the thing is you have to use eth gas for the transaction. I also have several tokens with no value even about 3 years, and i just left it behind my wallet.

Is it that difficult to keep these tokens in your wallet? Apart from making the wallet a bit clumsy, they don't cause any other harm. You always have the option of moving to another wallet. But with ETH gas fees at extremely high levels right now, this is not something that I would be recommending. The ERC-20 algorithm doesn't give you the freedom to delete tokens. You need to live with that.

creating a new wallet will also experience the same thing this wallet can possibly receive a token created  by unknown developer.

Why making it  difficult and thinking it's a big problem you can stay your sht coins in your wallet besides there is nothing to lose having it in your wallet.
It's true, creating a new wallet is just a waste of time,

You can still receive another useless token sooner or later, I think keeping those useless tokens won't bother you a bit. Just keep those tokens and don't overthink about those useless tokens.

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
Of course you can, you can send the trash token to another address or you can create a new address and send it there. That is the best way I do.
The best way is to create a new address and use it. It only takes 30 seconds to create a new address and everything will be easy. Why do we have to waste time moving those tokens to a new address?

You know guys we answer to these kinds of questions and sometimes we give our answers and these answers are very sincere answers and all of sudden you want to participate further and these kinds of threads get deleted by the admin. I just encountered that in other sections, you answer questions, help people and then after a day or two you check your post for responses and they're gone, because the thread got deleted. I do hope yours will continue to move on for this has been asked many times and my two cents worth here is I treat these useless coins like souvenirs of a time. I use these shitcoins as memories for certain events in my life during the time I got those. So don't delete them. It's a waste of resources if you use your resource to send these to other addresses. Keep them and use them as memories.

You can, But what's the point? You'll use gwei/gas in order to get rid of it? So just ignore them. There's no good reason to get rid of it if it requires money. And maybe someday that deadcoins can be resurrected. Who knows?

There is no point in removing unnecessary tokens from your wallet, because new unnecessary coins may soon appear there. In addition, transferring such coins to a random address will bring you an additional loss in the form of a paid transfer fee. I haven't paid attention to such coins for a long time, but there is always a chance that the price of the coin may one day rise.

You can send those useless tokens to another unknown wallet address or just delete their smart contract from your wallet and the tokens will stay hidden from your wallet menu or interface

of course mate or vice versa
wich mean you can send your valuable tokens to new wallet address and let your useless tokens in your old wallet addres

Well, I think this will be a good idea if the Op is desperately wanting to remove those tokens. However, the tome, the effort and money (fees) that would be used on this should have been better used on something more productive.
Also, doing a thing like this, in a time such as this, when transaction fee is so much, it means that OP would have to use a big fund for that. Particularly if the tokens he wants to discard are so much.

Well it depends on you if you deleted or not, Because for me I keep them because they have time it will going to swap to another tokens and have a chance to trade them into a high price. But if we think there was no future the tokens we have so just leave them it waste of time to hold them for so long.

As of now I have more than 10 tokens in my wallet and one of them are forgotten or abandoned to the project that I participated.

I found a tutorial here about how to hide the tokens you don't want to see anymore.
https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/pull/4482
So, what we do is to hide the tokens, mate? Not remove them, right? Sure we don't have gas with that way. But this is a good way, at least all the dead tokens aren't visible anymore. I also prefer to hide them than sending them to a random address that requires some gas. Anyway, thanks for sharing the info, will try!!  Wink

Indeed why not? you can just delete useless tokens from your wallet, or maybe you can send it to any wallet. But in my mind to delete is the best variant instead of sending tokens in any wallet. Maybe if you don't see these tokens anymore, it can be also helpful to create a new wallet and then send your tokens in this wallet. Maybe it can be also a solution, it is up to you what to do.

Blockchain and smart contracts would be worthless if it would allow someone to just delete a few tokens and keep on going... like it was sai previously, there is no way to do this, you can choose for MEW to not display these tokens, send them somewhere else ~(need to pay fees), or just createanother wallet to send your valid tokens (need to pay fees)
I just leave them alone and they do not bother me Smiley

Depends on the kind of wallet you are using. Trust wallet and imtoken for example offer you the opportunity to toggle on and off the tokens you don't want shown in your asset list when you access these wallets. Unfortunately, I don't think you can chose to delete these assets completely. You can either chose to display them or hide them. Should you want to delete them, maybe you should consider sending the said tokens back to their contract addresses or send them back to the addresses you got them from in the first place.
