  One of the most secure ways to delete cryptocurrency wallet files from your flash drive is to use a file shredder program. These programs overwrite the data multiple times, making it nearly impossible to recover. You can find file shredder programs online or in app stores. Just make sure to choose a reputable one.

  If you're not comfortable using a file shredder program, you can also physically destroy your flash drive. This can be done by smashing it with a hammer or drilling holes through it. However, keep in mind that this method is irreversible, so make sure you have a backup of your wallet files.
