How do we get rid of malicious NFT’s in wallet
I was talking to Zeneca, and was worried about Some NFT’s that mysteriously appeared in my MetaMask wallet and he felt that they could be removed safely. He even is pondering making a video on this. Do you know if it is possible?

The safest option is to hide the dubious NFT and not interact with it at all. Platforms like OpenSea are actively dealing with scammy NFTs and they disappear when OS handles them. Maybe search on the web if the NFT is already known for a scam that is going around. In general, you can delete an NFT in two ways:
- Either by transferring it to an unusable wallet which is called burning.
- By deleting it if you are the creator of the NFT. If unsure for now, just hide it. Also, get a cold wallet (Ledger) to avoid having your wallet content compromised.
Hide is the safest. Any interaction is discouraged. Burning and transferring has a cost too.
Just gonna echo what has been said. Never interact with them, just move them to hidden folder on OpenSea. Out of sight out of mind :)
