# Manage wallets

Cake Wallet lets you keep as many wallets as you like on a single device and switch between them at any time. This page covers the **Wallets** screen: viewing your wallets, switching between them, renaming a wallet, and deleting one.

## The Wallets screen

Tap the `Wallets` tab in the bottom navigation bar to see all of your wallets. They are organized into two sections:

* **Shared Seed Wallets** — wallets that were created together from a single seed as part of a [wallet group](https://docs.cakewallet.com/features/managing-your-wallet/wallet-groups).
* **Single Seed Wallets** — wallets that each have their own separate seed.

From this screen you can also tap `Create New Wallet` to add a new wallet, or `Restore Wallet` to bring in an existing one.

## Switching wallets

Tap any wallet in the list to make it your active wallet. Cake switches to that wallet and returns you to the home screen, where its balance and transaction history are shown.

## Renaming a wallet

Tap the pencil icon next to a wallet to open the `Edit wallet` screen. Enter a new name, then tap `Save`.

## Deleting a wallet

To delete a wallet, open the `Edit wallet` screen (tap the pencil next to the wallet), tap the red `Delete` button, and confirm on the prompt.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Deleting a wallet removes it and its transaction history from this device. If you have not backed up that wallet's seed (or private keys), any funds it holds will be **lost permanently** — neither Cake nor anyone else can recover them. Always make sure you have a working backup before deleting a wallet you might need again.
{% endhint %}

Once you confirm, the wallet is removed from your list. Your other wallets are unaffected.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cakewallet.com/features/managing-your-wallet/manage-wallets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
