I am a bit confused about the wallet location in my system. I have created a wallet named mywallet using cleos. then I opened eosio_wallet directory and I found mywallet.wallet file. I deleted mywallet.wallet file and run cleos wallet list command. Still, I found mywallet in the list. Is there a way to remove the created wallet?

  • Did you used --wallet-dir to specify you wallet location generally it is located on ~/eosio-wallet

  • You should first use cleos wallet open -n your_wallet this through the error with the path that keosd is accessing, there you can delete the wallets

From some sources I understood, Unix systems keep deleted files alive in a zombie-like state as long as any processes have them open. So deleted wallet will remain in a virtual state until keosd is killed
