How to remove an account from your MetaMask

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

• Hide (Extension only): 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'. Currently available on the extension only.

您还可以轻松取消隐藏账户，以便再次在主账户列表中显示。 在账户选择器菜单中，点击“隐藏的账户”即可显示您隐藏的账户。 然后，在要取消隐藏的账户中，点击右侧的三个垂直点菜单，然后点击“显示账户”。

Remove an account

:::info[How 如何移除创建的账户？

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.

您在 MetaMask 中使用“添加账户”按钮添加的账户无法删除。 See below for more information, or consider hiding them for a potential workaround.
