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, provided that you listed or copied every single character/letter/number of your privkey then you are good to go. But to be sure, just keep a backup of your wallet somewhere safe so that you won't be having some serious trouble in case some things get fucked up.
