Do
NOT mess around with your wallet unless you are absolutely certain about the following 2 things:
- You have recently securely stored 1 or more good backups of the wallet in a way that you can recover it if anything goes wrong
- You understand exactly what steps you need to take, and aren't making guesses or misunderstanding something you've been told
