Hi, I just successfully imported a private key from a paper wallet to Electrum, but I cannot figure out how to access the balance and spend the  BTC. The balance currently shown in Electrum is the balance of my default Electrum address. When I click around the imported address, I can't seem to find any option for actually doing something with this address rather than just looking at it sit there in the "Imported" column.

What to do?

Just close and reopen Electrum, and wait for 5-10 seconds.

After doing the above enable expert mode in preferences and right click on the imported address and choose prioritize. Then send an amount + fees that equals to the balance of the imported address to empty it out.
