How to remove a token

info

You cannot remove or hide the native network token (e.g. BNB on BSC, ETH on Ethereum, etc.) also known as the gas token.

Please note that this action does not affect the balance of tokens held. It is simply removing the token from displaying in your MetaMask; so if you did have a balance of USDC, for example, and removed the token from your MetaMask interface, it would not remove the token from your address on the blockchain.

Also, hiding the token will not affect token allowances — i.e. permissions you've granted dapps to move tokens to/from your account. See here for how to do this.

To remove a token, click on the token under the 'Tokens' tab on your homepage:

MetaMask extension select token

You will then see a three vertical dots icon in the top right. Tap on it, and it will bring up a dropdown with a 'Hide' option:
