Delete

You can delete resources by deleting the CloudFormation stack.

All data within SPV Wallet will be deleted.

Manual delete is required for log groups.

WARNING Deleting the deployment will result in TOTAL LOSS OF FUNDS held by all accounts in the wallet. Although users should keep their 12 word mnemonics displayed at the time of account creation, in practice this is often skipped, and there is no way to even know which transactions belong to the user thereafter, nevermind regaining control of the funds. Please ensure all funds are sent out of hosted wallets, and a record of all transactions has been exported prior to deletion of the deployment.

Step 1

Open AWS console -> Cloud Formation -> Stacks

Step 2

Make sure you're in the same region you chose in Step 3 of installation

Step 3

Click your top level stack, the one without the NESTED badge.

Step 4

Click the Delete button at the top right.

Step 5

Confirm that you want to delete the stack.

Step 6

Wait until status of the stack will reach the value DELETE_COMPLETE

In some rare cases, it can happen that deletion will end up with error. Often this is because AWS is trying to delete resources in wrong order. In such a case you need to check which resources deletion failed and delete them manually, then try again deleting whole stack (go back to Step 1)
