How to remove an account from your MetaMask

This guide shows you how to hide or remove an account from your MetaMask wallet.

• Hide: Any account you've added to MetaMask can easily be hidden from your account selector menu, allowing you to view the accounts that are most important to you more easily.

• Remove: Depending on the account type (usually some imported accounts and hardware wallets), you may also be able to remove accounts from your MetaMask instance altogether. TL;DR: You can only remove accounts if you see the 'Remove account' option in the account selector menu. Otherwise, you can only hide them.

Hide an account

Hiding an account is easy; click on the three vertical dots menu to the right of your account, and click 'Hide account'.

You can also easily unhide accounts so they show up in the main accounts list again. In the account selector menu, click 'Hidden accounts' to reveal the accounts you've hidden. Then, click the three vertical dots menu to the right of the account you wish to unhide, and click 'Show account'.

How 생성된 계정은 어떻게 제거하나요?

It is not possible to remove created accounts (additional accounts derived from your SRP), as your address remains permanently on the blockchain. You can "hide" any accounts you don't wish to see anymore by following the steps above.

You can only remove imported accounts and external accounts that you imported with a private key or JSON file (such as a hardware wallet) if on an SRP-only wallet; if you created your wallet using a Google/Apple account, you can only hide accounts, not remove them as they will be forever linked to your Google/Apple account.

MetaMask의 '계정 추가' 버튼을 사용하여 추가한 계정은 제거할 수 없습니다. See below for more information, or consider hiding them for a potential workaround.

화면 상단의 계정 선택기를 클릭하여 계정으로 이동하세요. 계정에 라벨이 지정되어 있으므로 여기에서 가져온 계정들을 확인할 수 있습니다.

In the account selector dropdown, click on the three vertical dots menu to the right of the imported account. This will open the menu where you can click 'Remove account':

1. In wallet view, tap on your account name to bring up the account selector screen. 현재 어떤 계정을 선택했는지는 중요하지 않습니다.

   이 화면에서 제거할 외부 계정을 찾을 때까지 스크롤하면 됩니다. 옆에 '가져온' 계정이라는 라벨이 있으므로 쉽게 식별할 수 있습니다.

2. 계정을 길게 누르면 제거 옵션이 표시됩니다. 컨펌을 누르면 해당 계정이 MetaMask에서 즉시 사라집니다.
