SOLANA WALLET GUIDES
Close empty accounts and reclaim SOL rent safely. The wallet changes, but the safety rule does not: connect with a public address, review every account, and sign only the exact close or burn instructions you intend.
01
Clean a Phantom wallet Connect Phantom, review public token-account data, select only the accounts you understand, and verify every instruction before signing.
1 Open the official wallet extension and make sure the intended public address is active. 2 Connect from the Solana Cleanup tool. A connection should not request a transaction. 3 Run the scan and review empty accounts separately from non-empty tokens and NFTs. 4 Check the gross reclaim, fee, network cost, and destination wallet before approval. 5 Read the transaction in your wallet, then sign only when every instruction is expected. 02
Reclaim SOL with Solflare Use Solflare to inspect empty accounts and approve an account-close transaction without sharing a seed phrase or private key.
