just save your wallet.dat on an usb stick, and/or on another pc so if your pc crashes you still have your coins
you do not want this file (wallet.dat) on an computer connected to the internet or it could be compromised!!
is there specific, for a newbie, steps on how to get it off? I have saved that file to usb sticks, but don't know what to do now.
Mac? PC? Linux? You need to find the directory that holds the original wallet.dat file to remove it. This is the exact same process for a Bitcoin wallet when using the Qt client. There are plenty of tutorials out there to access your wallet file for the Bitcoin-Qt. Same procedure, same directory, but for BlackCoin-Qt folder
