if you can find the wallets then you can open them one by one in electrum and send the bitcoins to a wallet you do want to keep. you could even script this with the electrum command line. i don't think the other ways are practical.

Hundreds of wallets seems to me like a mental nightmare to organize or even visualize. You don't account to anyone here (especially me), but is there a reason you don't simply move any coins from those numerous wallets and then consolidate into newer and fewer addresses? I realize this doesn't directly answer your question.

Part of the reason for my inquiry is because using the method you describe you are getting outside of just knowing those magic "seed" words so you'll never lose any BTC. That is the beauty of Electrum. Above all else, if you just know your SEED you are always OK. Its the ultimate KISS and when coins are at stake that is my mantra!!

Over the years, ive wound up with hundreds of electrum wallets on my computer/

I wish to purge all the old ones and kep a single new omstance.

Is there a way to;
1. Search hd for electrum wallets so i can round them all up into one working area.'
2. Run an index command to either extract the seed of each wallet or to extract the privkey of each address within each wallet

Id wind up with either:
1. A list of seeds (One per wallet)
2. A huge list of privkeys (one per address within each wallet)

Then witht this list i could import all my privkeys intoa new wallet so i have a single wallet with all my owned private keys. I could then delete the hundreds of wallets that make my hd so messy.

Any places to start? Is libbitcoin or sx or some cli he place thatd be my best bet?
