Token account
A small account that holds your balance of one token.
Your wallet does not hold tokens directly. For every token you receive, a separate token account is created that stores the balance of that token. Selling everything leaves an empty account behind.
Why it matters
Empty token accounts can be closed to get the rent back. You can see how many you have with the wallet card.
