Restoring multi-sig wallet - Wallet name exists after deleting
steveocrypto opened this issue · comments
Describe the bug
After deleting a multi-sig wallet and restoring, Specter gives you an error that the wallet already exists even after deleting it previously. Changing the name of the imported wallet fixes the issue, but it shouldn't require this.
To Reproduce
- Create Multisig Wallet - Give it "Test Wallet"
- Save copy of backup PDF to restore the wallet
- Delete "Test Wallet"
- Restore using backup PDF
- The error pops up that the wallet already exists
Expected behavior
After deleting a wallet, you should be able to restore said wallet even with the same wallet name.
Screenshots
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- Where is your node running: Local
- Where is your specter running: Local
- If you're running a binary, which OS: MacOS
- Browser: Chrome
- Specter Version: 2.0.2
This is a limitation of the bitcoin core wallet as it doesn't have an API to delete a wallet. Really difficult to explain the solution as it meants to use the cli and manually delete files.
I'd recommend to switch to electrum in your case.
Closing this issue for now.
