Transaction not confirmed in 5 days

[HUSTLER]

I have a transaction ID. But the transaction hasn't been broadcast. It doesn't show in the block chain either. I deleted everything in my bitcoin folder except for my wallet.dat. I downloaded the block chain again. The transaction shows a deduction from my wallet. But the BTC never hit the destination address. I've never had this happen before. Not sure what to think. Any advice?

Thanks.

What does the address show in blockchain.info etc?

[HUSTLER]

The address doesn't show any transaction in the block chain.

I think when you

I deleted everything in my bitcoin folder except for my wallet.dat

you deleted that pending transaction. Maybe try -rescan? https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=7159.0

Keep good backups of your wallet.dat - as always.

I didn't delete the folder and download the block chain again until 3 days of no confirmations. I will look in to rescan.

Go into the RPC window, then do
getrawtransaction *transaction id*
then copy and paste the result into
sendrawtransaction *result from previous command*

This will rebroadcast the transaction to the network.
