Thanks so much for the info about restoring my wallet. But is it true that if it's synced there will still be no record of my lost transaction if i do so? Is there any other way to find old Electrum files on a Mac? Or to access an earlier version of my wallet, if all else fails? Sorry, but i really cannot believe i did such an incredibly stupid thing and i would like to remedy it in any way possible!

Thank you for ongoing advice. Yeah, i must be misremembering. Now it seems clear that i had to have deleted the transaction on the "Receive" tab. It was certainly an actual implemented transaction, and not just a request to receive BTC. BUT there were of course no confirmations. I just have this inexplicable memory blank about who the actual sender was.

So, if there's no other way to find out (or to find the transaction), i should "make a new wallet and restore [my] wallet with a backup seed phrase"? Can anyone spare the time to give me a link about executing this. I've read it before but i really need to be assured that i won't lose my coinage. My mnemonic is stored on paper, but i've never used it before and i'm very nervous about this process! Thanks for any further help.

Hi,

Thanks, everyone. To clarify: i deleted the unconfirmed transaction under the "History" tab. Sure of that. There were zero confirmations, and the transaction was made many hours before. Probably just a low-fee issue. Thing is, i don't have that many transactions in my history. That's why i was able to look at ALL my addresses under the "Addresses" tab, and find that none of them had any detectable relationship to the unconfirmed transaction. i downloaded the wallet from Electrum.org, the real site almost certainly, and i don't THINK i've had money stolen via the wallet before (or until now). All advice welcome!

Hi,

Thanks all for the excellent advice on this forum. i have a really stupid, desperate question which may have no answer. Absolutely any help would be much appreciated. So: about a week ago (not longer, i don't think), i was multitasking and very distracted and therefore i accidentally deleted an unconfirmed transaction that i had failed to memorise ANY component parts of. i mean, i was meant to be receiving the BTC, and of course it never made its way into my wallet, but that's all i know - except that i would really like to find some way to recover that money. i'm using an Electrum 4.1.5 on a mac. The transaction is not to be found under the "addresses" tab; i'm almost certain of that. Unless it's one of the totally empty ones that go nowhere on the blockchain? Does anyone have any idea how it might be possible to retrieve an unconfirmed transaction that you just clicked "delete" on in history but which must still exist somewhere?

Thanks for any advice. Go ahead and depress me.
