The wallet-purge-seed-phrase command in Mintlayer allows for the deletion of the seed phrase from the loaded wallet's database, provided it has been previously stored. This command is typically used for enhanced security measures to ensure that the seed phrase is not stored electronically within the wallet.
Permanent Deletion: Be aware that using this command will permanently delete the seed phrase from your wallet's database. This action cannot be undone.
Backup Your Seed Phrase: Before purging the seed phrase, ensure you have securely backed it up. The seed phrase is essential for recovering your wallet and accessing your funds in case of wallet file loss or corruption.
Security Risk: If you lose access to your wallet and do not have the seed phrase backed up elsewhere, you will not be able to recover your wallet or its assets.
