Summary

If you would like to remove your back-up from the cloud for privacy concerns, or just want to start a fresh cloud backup.

Step-by-step instructions to remove cloud backup

  1. Login to your icloud or google drive.

  2. Look for the Bitcoin.com Wallet folder.

  3. Inside that folder, find the wallet.data file and delete it.

Before doing this, please be absolutely certain that you have your 12 word recovery phrase written down, as this is the only possible way to regain access to that wallet should anything happen to it or the device it is stored on.
