## After installing from Google Play the wallet list is empty!
Sorry about that. The folder for the wallets was renamed from "Monerujo" to "monerujo".
On most devices this does not matter (they don't care about upper/lower case). Yours does.
If you use a file explorer (e.g. es file explorer) you can find the Monerujo folder and rename it to "monerujo".
## 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.
## Do you have any screenshots of what it looks like and how it works?
No, but it looks fantastic. Just check it out.
## Can I use existing wallet files?
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.
