# Uninstall wallet

This page has two sections one for the wallet extension and one for the desktop wallet. Before uninstalling the wallet make sure you have a backup of your Secret Key (typically a 24 word mnemonic seed phrase). Without a backup of your seed phrase you will lose access to your funds forever.
