I can make a PR to address this issue if you agree

This is as expected. When an account did exist and all its SOL (aka lamports) are transferred out, making its balance 0, the account gets garbage collected by the run time. Making it no longer exist

Ok, i understand, maybe is a too technical concept for general users do, but if you think that display that is enough we can close this issue

@nickfrosty what about for cNFT Accounts? #378

@nickfrosty Technically, that’s correct. However, it could be confusing for users who recently swapped all of their SOL (lamports) to another token like JUP. When they check their account on the explorer and see ‘Account not found,’ it might feel alarming. A clearer message could help prevent this confusion what do you think ? @JuanMarchetto

@philetos cnfts are not technically in accounts though. The way their hash id works looks similar because it's base58 encoded, but it functions very different.

@J4Web it could be alarming/concerning. A more clear message might be warranted though
