I'd like a RPC method to delete a wallet

[GiganteX]

I have some unit-testing of the RPC interface which creates wallets, does some testing, and then it just leaves them there because there's no way to delete them. Method to delete a wallet, please?

Unfortunately, there's not a delete wallet RPC call, but you can delete the .json files manually.

Go to Wallets folder (inside the Wasabi data folder) and delete the .json Wallet file. Then go to WalletBackups folder (inside Wasabi data folder) and delete it.

True, normally I'd do that, but in this case I was planning to do a remote call to Wasabi on another server.
Anyway, it's not a major issue for me, just an inconvenience.

The RPC is just an interface (like the GUI) that exposes functionality that is available in Wasabi. Right now Wasabi doesn't include any way to delete a wallet and that's why none of the interfaces provide that functionality.

Historically speaking, most of the functionalities has been exposed to GUI interface first and there are good reasons for that, after all actions like deleting a wallet is not simply delete a file (or two), it requires to consider many things very carefully first: in case the wallet is opened we should close all the tabs where it is being used (also refresh the Wallet Manager), in case it is participating in a coinjoin we should to unregister the coins, would we need to consider deleting the backup too?

NACK because the cost is too high and the expected benefits are too low.

I understand, makes sense!
