eWallet will not delete your wallet file, even when installing an upgrade. The only way to delete your file is to delete it from your computer yourself. However, in some cases, eWallet may open up a sample wallet file instead of your wallet file.

Note: Windows Mobile 5 and newer requires that existing software be uninstalled when installing an update. If you have a My Wallet.wlt file in My Documents on your PDA, eWallet will ask if you want to keep or delete it while the uninstall process runs. Choose to keep your file unless you know for certain that it does not contain your data.

If eWallet opens a sample wallet on your desktop:

  •  First, open eWallet and click on the File menu. Above the Exit option, you will see one more more numbered items. #1 is whatever file you are looking at right now in eWallet. Any others are previously-used files; your wallet file may be one of them!
  • If none of those files is your wallet file, but you know where the file is on your computer, go to File -> Open Wallet and brows your computer until you find the file.
  • If you still can't find your file, you may need to search your PC. Do a Windows search for all files ending in .WLT, then double-click on any of the search results to open files in eWallet.

If eWallet opens a sample wallet on your Windows Mobile PDA:

  • If your Windows Mobile PDA has a touch screen, tap OK until you see the Wallets list. Make sure you are looking at All Folders, and then you should see your wallet file.  If you are syncing the file, its icon will have green sync arrows around it.
  • If your Windows Mobile PDA doesn't have a touch screen, pick Menu -> Open Wallet, and you should see your wallet. If you are syncing the file, its icon will have green arrows around it.
