Hi.

I was playing around with Electrum creating an unsigned raw transaction,
the guide I was looking at was for an out dated version,
so instead of creating a raw transaction I inadvertently created a signed transaction.

Electrum then attempted to broadcast the transaction but the computer is offline so it has not been broadcast.

I do not want that transaction broadcast.

This is not an unconfirmed transaction, it has not been broadcast so it does not exist anywhere else.

My question entails the steps to ensure it is never broadcast?

.
Does Electrum have a cache where such data (un-sent transaction) is stored?

Is it stored in the wallet, or somewhere else in the .electrum directory (using Linux)?

thanks.


EDITED
I cannot see the transaction in the wallet itself,
I also have tried modifying the config file to show,
"confirmed_only": false,

Still offline, the wallet will also still let me create (and attempt to broadcast) a transaction that sends those coins again.

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

the transaction will not be stored anywhere unless it is broadcast. and since you have been offline you did not broadcast it so it does not exist anywhere including in your wallet file.
here is your wallet location: http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html#where-is-my-wallet-file-located
it stores your transactions. if you want to make sure, open it in a text editor but make sure not to change anything to make it invalid!

Ok fantastic thank you.

Then I understand that Electrum will create a transaction, broadcast the transaction,
but will not store data until it receives it from the network?

And if the transaction is not visible in the client, it will not exist in the stored wallet.file?
