Cleanup FAQ

What does cleanup do?

Cleanup helps you reclaim SOL by identifying and closing unused token accounts and resizing NFTs, freeing up storage rent.

Is cleanup safe?

Cleanup is 100% safe to use. It does not burn any items. Closing token accounts is a reversible operation, and resizing NFTs is sanctioned by Metaplex.

What are vacant accounts?

When purchasing tokens, NFTs, or other assets, you need to create an account for the item to live in. Once this NFT or token has been sold, transferred, and so on, this storage is left unused, and can be reclaimed. This does not burn any of your assets, and is a reversible process. It will not invalidate any airdrops.

What does resize NFTs mean?

Metaplex, the company that created most NFT standards, discovered a way to reduce the amount of on chain storage required for an NFT. By resizing your NFTs, you can reclaim a small amount of SOL. This process is safe, it does not burn your NFT. You can read more info on this process by the Metaplex Developers below
