Remove the unconfirmed transaction from your wallet by restoring it from the seed and create a new TX with a higher fee.
IIRC you can use ! as amount to send all coins.

Im not really here, its just your imagination.

In that case you might have to try a more drastic approach -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1736269.msg17370760#msg17370760

look up the tx id on a block explorer like blockchain.info. if it's listed there then some mining pools are still carrying that in their memory and it might yet confirm.  you can get the tx id  by right clicking on the tx in the history tab and selecting details.

You can try to push through the transaction by sending another transaction with the change from the first transaction but with a high fee. This sometimes causes the miners to push through both transactions in order to claim the fees.
