on my prompt it says     c:\user\user     I cant seem to get back to the root  C:\   it says C:\users\user
  
even if I try to type       \program files    i.e   C:\user\user\program files\bitcoin it says

"c:\ program" is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file

the path is     C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin    and its the same, I cant get off the  c:\users\user  prompt   .     ahhhhhhhh

that's all pretty basic stuff... it looks to me like you did not include the quotes i specified in my example?
Also, if bitcoin core is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin instead of C:\Program Files\Bitcoin, you'll need to adapt the example to the correct path.

I googled this link for you, it's a basic tutorial on how to use the command prompt: http://www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/spr05/cos126/cmd-prompt.html

An other option would be to use windows explorer, navigate to the folder containing bitcoin-qt.exe, right click, make a shortcut, edit the shortcut and add the startup parameter in the shortcut-edit-gui Wink

got it , found the path and used the bitcoin-qt with the "-walletbroadcast=0" parameter?  and hit the abandontransaction a366a4a92d4332d1c2d0b3292ac7194bc4c73be76dfffd407c7caabfcb89a5f6 .... and it worked
thanks man

well then isnt he already good if it isnt even showing up on block explorers?

Not really, he's using bitcoin core... Core will rebroadcast his transaction if it's restarted. When he abandons his transaction, or zaps his wallet, core will no longer rebroadcast Wink
Also, after zapping or abandoning, it'll be much easyer to re-use the unspent outputs when creating a new transaction with a higher fee.

Your approach was OK tough, you're right: if the transaction is improperly propagated, the OP has a slim chance of getting his tx in a block anyways, but that was actually the thing i was aiming at in the first place.
what if I just leave it? as I dont know how to zap the wallet

Hi Man
its now saying

12:13:47

abandontransaction a366a4a92d4332d1c2d0b3292ac7194bc4c73be76dfffd407c7caabfcb89a5f6


12:13:47

Transaction not eligible for abandonment (code -5)



 and the path is      C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin    windows 10

Did you start bitcoin-qt with the "-walletbroadcast=0" parameter?
If so, and you can't get it to work, i'd suggest using -zapwallettxes instead.
dont mean to sound stupid but how would I do that    start bitcoin-qt with the  -walletbroadcast=0     , where do I add this line of txt?

Hi all,
Sent a payment from my core wallet and the fee was too low , Status: 0/unconfirmed, in memory pool , tried to use txconfirm but it says Invalid transaction

Transaction ID: a366a4a92d4332d1c2d0b3292ac7194bc4c73be76dfffd407c7caabfcb89a5f6

Will it go back to my wallet?  Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

If you used bitcoin core to send, you'll need to do some manual steps... Otherwise your wallet will keep rebroadcasting your transaction.
There are 2 options:
1) open the debug console, enter "abandontransaction [txid]"
2) close your wallet, restart with the command line parameter -zapwallettxes. Your wallet will now rescan all blocks and only take confirmed transactions into account

Now, you can wait untill most nodes dropped your transaction from their mempool, and you can try to re-create your transaction using the same unspent outputs but a higher fee.

good luck!
Sorry Im pretty new to this, did the abandontransaction in the console and it can up with this, 
abandontransaction "txid"

Mark in-wallet transaction <txid> as abandoned
This will mark this transaction and all its in-wallet descendants as abandoned which will allow
for their inputs to be respent.  It can be used to replace "stuck" or evicted transactions.
It only works on transactions which are not included in a block and are not currently in the mempool.
It has no effect on transactions which are already conflicted or abandoned.


Closed the wallet ,how do I restart with command line parameter ..     again sorry for my ignorance
