I will follow the instructions on this web page [https://iohk.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013170694-Uninstall-Daedalus](https://iohk.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013170694-Uninstall-Daedalus) to uninstall Daedalus Wallet, then restore all the wallets and hopefully it will work Since I have 2 wallets Byron and Shelley wallets. Could I delete the Byron wallet since we won’t be using Byron wallet any longer? Thanks ---

I have the recovery phrases for both wallets. Do I need to provide the wallet names when I try to recover them? I went through this process before but I can’t remember if I need to provide the wallet names Thanks ---
