Introduction

Before you get started, you should note that your twelve-word recovery seed is the only piece of information that will allow you to recover your wallet. If you delete your application without your recovery seed, you won’t be able to reaccess your funds. So if you still have access to the wallet, you can view your recovery phrase, or you can send the coins to another twelve-word recovery wallet and then transfer later.

Steps

Update your Exodus Wallet, most issues occurs by outdated version:

1. **Download Exodus Wallet last version for Windows**
2. **Download Exodus Wallet last version for Android**
3. **Download Exodus Wallet last version for Mac**
   Step 1: To delete your application, you will need to go to your control panel (if using windows) and type in “uninstall application.”
   Step 2: When you find Exodus on the library, or by searching it on the search bar via the top right corner, you can right-click and “Uninstall.”
   Step 3: You can now download the latest version of Exodus here. Once it has downloaded, you can open the application for the next step.
   Step 4: If you have your recovery phrase, you can click on the “Restore” button and enter your recovery phrase into the client. You will then have to create a password that should be written down and secured. Your password is only to be used when your opening the client; it won’t be used in the restoring process.

Conclusion

Exodus makes uninstalling and reinstalling a very straightforward process by including advanced UX that allows you to click in a flow that makes sense. If you follow the guide, you will be able to complete these actions in minutes successfully. If you feel that your application was compromised, then it would be best to create a new wallet and send your coins over to the new address.
