### How to Delete All Wallets from Nova Wallet

Nova Wallet does not collect or store any of your data on a server. All your wallet information is stored either locally on your device or on your personal cloud storage. Should you no longer wish to use Nova Wallet, here is how you can delete all your wallets.

1. Open the Nova Wallet application.
2. `Export` all the wallets you wish to keep available in the future as described here: [Export Wallet](/nova-wallet-wiki/wallet-management/export-wallet.md). Your mnemonic passphrase, raw seed, and JSON file are all compatible with other Polkadot wallets.
3. `Enable` **cloud backup** if you have it disabled at the moment: [Enable Cloud Backup](/nova-wallet-wiki/settings/backup/enable-cloud-backup.md).
4. `Delete` your cloud **backup file** by following this guide: [Manage Your Cloud Backup](/nova-wallet-wiki/settings/backup/manage-your-cloud-backup.md#delete-your-cloud-backup).
5. You can now `uninstall` the Nova Wallet application to erase the wallet data that was stored locally.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.novawallet.io/nova-wallet-wiki/wallet-management/deleting-a-wallet.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
