## Backup / Archive says "Backup/Archive failed"
You need to have synced at least once for these functions to work as the cache file must have been created.

## I cannot select and copy the mnemonic seed
Copying anything to the clipboard on Android exposes it to any other App running. So this
is a security measure to keep your seed safe(r).
## My storage is getting full
Newly generated wallets are stored in ```.new``` in the main wallet folder.
They are never erased (for now). You can delete this whole folder from time to time.
Also, the backup folder ```.backups``` is never automatically cleaned up.
You may want to do housekeeping manually with a file browser.
All wallet files (```testnet``` and ```mainnet```) are stored in the main ```Monerujo``` folder.
So be careful erasing stuff. One of the future releases will split the wallets and move ```testnet```
wallets out of there.

## Can I use existing wallet files?
2017-08-20 08:18:59 -06:00
If you want to use existing wallet files, you need to copy the wallet files from you current Monero client. These are:
```
WalletName
WalletName.address.txt
WalletName.keys
```
### From where?
This depends on your installation - you could search for them in your home directory or check the settings of your current client. Places to try are `C:\Users\<YOURUSERNAME>\Documents\Monero\wallets` for Windows or `~/.bitmonero/wallet` in Linux. Or just search for `WalletName.keys`.
### What if don't have these files?

Keep calm and make a new wallet.
