So I'm testing stuff and creating wallets which I end up deleting. Each wallet is in its own folder. After I deleted the folder for one wallet I didn’t need, now every time I start bitcoin-qt, I get this annoying message: Warning: Skipping -wallet path that doesn't exist. Failed to load database path '/home/user/.bitcoin/wallet_name'. Path does not exist. Sure, it's nice that it warns you, but I really don't need to see this every time. Since I removed the wallet, I don’t want to keep getting notifications for every one I delete. Is there any way to stop these messages?

I 've followed the same process, but instead of deleting the wallet directory straight ahead, I clicked on "File -> Close Wallet..." from the menu. Then I deleted the directory and it didn't bother me with a warning. Are you running a pruned node?

Backup and edit ~/.bitcoin/settings.json (after closing Bitcoin Core).
