I'm trying to close my account by withdrawing all my XRP into a new account. But the Ripple client insists on keeping a minimum balance of 50 XRP. How can I properly close this account?

    Unfortunately, we have not yet figured out a way to do this. Removing an account completely would break our wallet security model. Commented Apr 26, 2013 at 9:17
  • @DavidSchwartz Can someone who has access to the secret key steal this minimum balance of 50 XRP?

  • Not today, but if in the future either the reserve drops or the network does adopt a way to close an account, then they could. Commented Apr 27, 2013 at 21:29

You can't withdraw the deposit, just leave it as it is.

Remove all trust and all offers to lower the minimum deposit.

  • Down voted because this is not an answer to the OP explaining how to remove all funds from an account. This is just a venting rant.
