How to remove unconfirmed, non-existent transaction from QT wallet

5

1

I transferred 10 btc from my Coinbase acct to my wallet. The transaction appears twice in my wallet, one went right through and confirmed within minutes, the other has 0 confirmations (after 2 weeks), and the transaction ID does not show up on blockchain. So I got my bitcoins, but now I have this "phantom" unconfirmed transaction in my wallet. How do I get rid if it?

The command line option is -zapwallettxes

This will clear unconfirmed transactions from your wallet.

Try doing a rescan. start the client with -rescan

That parameter will tell the software to scan the block chain for missing wallet transactions.

1However, this will not help to get rid of transactions that are already there. – Nate Eldredge – 2014-05-12T13:48:46.560
