If my HDD crashed or need to format & setup OS what will happen?

General

I have compleated Zcash wallet setup on my linux machine. On this procedure i use “./src/zcash-cli getnewaddress” command to creat my t-address. Accidentally i use same command again & find another t-address. i did it more time to see whats going on. Result is many addresses on my t-address list. So my Questions are…

  1. How i able to delete unwanted addresses?
  2. If my HDD crashed or need to format & setup OS what will happen? How i can get back my accounts as usual my balance?
  3. If i go far from my Home PC & need to make any transaction how it will be possible?

I m a Noob on this Arena & now i m doing CPU mining only.

Your Helps will be highly Appreciated.

Thank You

I am by far no expert on this and this is only my opinion on how I believe things to be

  1. Don’t worry about the extra address, you can create how ever many you need. If there is a balance on one of them, move it (transaction) over to the main address you want to use OR move it to an exchange or a cloud wallet.

  2. If your HD crashed, and the only place you have your Zec is in the ZCash wallet on your PC (and you don’t have a complete backup for full restore) I am 99.44% sure you have lost everything in it, no recovery. I want to stress here, that I am not a100% sure about this and if there is a way I am not familiar with it.

  3. Either Remote access to your PC or move it to a FOB or cloud based wallet

“Don’t worry about the extra address…” // Suppose, I stopped worry about extra addresses. But, anyway, how to delete them?

to my knowledge, no there is not

This is a security issue, isn’t it? What if I want to protect my ‘secret’ zaddr from stealing or sniffing or scanning from PC?

Thank you. Your opinion help me lot

  1. No need to delete the Addresses. May be it will help to ensure extra layer of security to protect precious one z address
  2. …
  3. Transferring the fund to Exchanger service can solve this problem
