How to remove Brave browser Wallet? (It is similar to MetaMask but is baked into browser )

Page at brave://wallet/ is asking for password, that I don't remember and I don't need that, I just need new.

Searches give no result so far.

P.S. Source of extensions are at https://github.com/brave/ethereum-remote-client Issues there are disabled, and it looks like Brave orgnization guide to add issues into main https://github.com/brave/brave-browser repository that have 3k open issues

P.P.S.

https://community.brave.com/t/deleting-crypto-wallet/149327/3 point to https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/10999 that is actually about removing account within wallet.

https://www.reddit.com/r/brave_browser/comments/9y7a06/is_there_a_way_to_delete_a_wallet/ suggest to play with (giving disclaimer) browser data folder

On you Windows machine, the bulk of your Wallet data is stored in ~/AppData/local/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/userdata/default in a file named ledger_state

EDIT: It seems that Brave actually implemented a way to reset the wallet.

Go to Settings > Wallet (in the left column) > Reset Wallet > Type in "Yes"

I've tried to delete different files and found out that after deleting the folder %LocalAppData%\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\Default\Local Extension Settings\odbfpeeihdkbihmopkbjmoonfanlbfcl resets the wallet and you can create a new one. But that doesn't reset the whole wallet thing, normally you have to press a button "I understand" before you can create, restore and so on.

So navigate to chrome://version to check profile location see https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/docs/user_data_dir.md
and then delete/rename Local Extension Settings\odbfpeeihdkbihmopkbjmoonfanlbfcl folder, then you can create new wallet. (Of cause old wallet is gone)

What you can do, is to remove C:\Users[your user]\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware. Then brave lets you setup a new wallet.

In settings -> wallet, where it says 'default cryptocurrency wallet' set that to none, so that it doesn't override any other wallet you want to use.
