# Manage accounts

> Rename, archive, restore, or delete accounts.

Open any account from **Accounts** to manage it.

## What you can do

| Action | Wallets | Exchanges | Manual and ETF |
| - | - | - | - |
| Rename | **Rename** | No | No |
| Refresh balance | Automatic | **Refresh Balance** | Edit it yourself |
| Stop tracking, keep history | **Archive Account** | No | No |
| Delete with history | From **Archived**, **Delete Permanently** | **Remove Account** | **Remove Account** |
| Undo | **Restore** | No | No |

## Archive a wallet

Archive a wallet you no longer use. Control Center stops tracking it but keeps its history.

1. Open the wallet. Select **Archive Account**.
2. Read the message. Select **Archive**.

![Archive Account? dialog with Cancel and Archive buttons](https://mintcdn.com/hoseki-corp/UfUbkRUza9CJFqpH/images/accounts-archive-dialog.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=UfUbkRUza9CJFqpH\&q=85\&s=7fa3f2c40461c885f8669719fb83327f)

Archiving keeps the wallet's history.

> [!WARNING]
>
> If the wallet still holds Bitcoin, your total will drop by that amount. The funds are still in your wallet. Control Center just stops counting them.

Archived wallets appear under **Archived** at the bottom of **Accounts**. From there:

* **Restore** brings the wallet back.
* **Delete Permanently** removes it and all its history. This can't be undone.

Past balances of archived wallets still show in your **All accounts** history.

## Abandon an unfinished wallet

A **pending** wallet has an **Abandon** button. It removes the wallet and its history. Use it to cancel a setup you don't want to finish.

![Abandon Account Setup? dialog](https://mintcdn.com/hoseki-corp/UfUbkRUza9CJFqpH/images/accounts-abandon-dialog.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=UfUbkRUza9CJFqpH\&q=85\&s=36bd80c4ad3c6640563aed64bb9b83d8)

Abandon removes an unfinished setup.

## Remove an exchange, manual, or ETF account

Open the account. Select **Remove Account**.

> [!WARNING]
>
> This deletes the account and all its history **immediately**. There is no confirmation and no undo. For Strike, imported statements are deleted too.

## Add the same wallet again

Adding a wallet you archived shows "This account is archived". Restore it from **Archived** instead. Adding a wallet that's already tracked takes you to the existing account. It does not create a duplicate.
