Litecoin wallet address deletion

Do not delete the Litecoin wallet address, return to the wallet, copy the address, edit the wallet.dat file, delete the line containing the address, save the changes and restart the wallet. This action will not remove the address from the blockchain, but it will prevent you from receiving funds from that address.

Note:

Deleting a Litecoin wallet address will not delete the address from the blockchain. It will only remove the address from your wallet, making you unable to receive funds from that address.
• If you have received any funds before deleting your address, they will still be on the blockchain, but you will not be able to access them.
• Before performing this procedure, make sure you have backed up your wallet.dat file in case something unexpected happens.
