<p>I have generated few fancy bitcoin addresses with vanitygen. I was looking on some webpage how-to-add the address into my bitcoin wallet. 
I accidentally entered the example private key instead of my generated one.
Now I have in my wallet someone else's address and plenty of transactions. </p>

<p>Is there a way how to remove that address from my wallet?
I did more actions since the last backup.</p>

I have generated few fancy bitcoin addresses with vanitygen. I was looking on some webpage how-to-add the address into my bitcoin wallet.
I accidentally entered the example private key instead of my generated one.
Now I have in my wallet someone else's address and plenty of transactions.

Is there a way how to remove that address from my wallet?
