Hello. i need help with safely storing btc. Is it safe to delete the wallet.dat file after the private key code has been stored somewhere else? I can not find information on this
Thank You
Yes. Although it isn't readable without decoding, it only stores your private key. To spend your coin, you need your private key. Do verify if you have copied down your private key properly as you won't be able to spend your coins unless every single of your letters and numbers in the private key are correct.
