Topic: Command to remove unwanted accounts (Read 5198 times)
In my opinion there is no need to delete empty accounts.
*bump* any update on this?
For the truly OCD people there are two choices that are much simpler than modifying the bitcoin client:1) write a C/C++ wallet cleaner utility using the matching Berkeley_DB libraries
2) do db_backup/clean/db_restore using Berkeley_DB utilities. The backup format is textual and the wallet database structure is very simple, so the "clean" step can be written in any of the widely known text processing languages like awk or Perl.
Remember that when using Berkeley_DB utilities you may need to create an appropriate DB_CONFIG file to be really on the safe side. This was discussed before on this forum.
I think I'll opt to just stay mildly irritated by the rogue account, rather than risk breaking everything! Thanks though

I believe a relatively easy solution would be allowing to delete an address, but not deleting its key (so that it becomes identical to a change address).
Any updates on this issue ?
Also, if they still can't be removed yet, can they be renamed?
Yes. I'm just OCD, and would like to be able to remove "temp" and "test" and "" so I don't see them.
Yes, not implemented yet. Do you want to remove them just so the listaccounts output isn't messy, or is the lack of a deleteaccount API call preventing you from doing something you need to do?
bitcoind listaccounts currently shows five accounts, only one of which is being used. What's the command to delete empty accounts, or at least remove them from my wallet?
not implemented yet.
there are some unofficial tools that let you make surgery to your wallet but the official app does not remove or hide them from the gui.
