Unfortunately there is no way to recover a private key. Unless you have the pmemonic phrase, which is like the private key but in a different format.

It is recommended to store your private key in at least two places. I have one on paper locked away in a vault and I like to store the information in 1Password as well.

No, always hold your own private keys. You only one have complete control of your private key, than money in your pocket is safe. Be careful the next time, save your keys and pass phrase in several places.

Yes there is other way if you delete your private key.. If you have saved seed phrase you can recover your wallet including the bitcoin address you use..
But if you are just holding private key without the seed phrase its impossible to recover your wallet..
May i know what wallet you are using?
Myetherwallet..thanks for the advice.it will serve a lesson to me

I would suggest getting a hardware wallet (I use Ledger Nano S) and you can "tie" it with MEW and have the ledger maintain the connection with your pin code. If you go that route, take the time to learn the ledger and write down the "seed" terms and keep safe. Super important. Good luck in your future endeavors.


Oh..thank you..ill try your advice..maybe this time ill make super extra careful for my wallet tobe safe

Do you still have the wallet it self somewhere ? because if you do you might be able to recover the data necessary from it.
Do you have the seed phrase ?

You may have luck with a data recovery company. Its not cheap but it could be very worth it if they can recover your wallet.dat file.

There is no way to recover if you do not know your pass phrases. Try to recover using recovery software if you accidentally deleted it from your computer.

Absolutely no way, unless you saved your 12 words phrase.

there is no way to recover. if you kept it in your computer and deleted it. you must try to recover that but other than that it is pretty much impossible.
