First of all, keep several copies of your wallet.dat file.
then downlaod bitcoin core  click Help->Debug ----> open the Console tab ----> then type dumpwallet <new file name>

then you can download Electrum wallet (verify signature) and import private keys^*.

Click Tab window in GUI Bitcoin Core then select Receiving Addresses,

select and Right click addreses > copy then put an addreses to explorer - https://www.blockchain.com/explorer or https://blockchair.com/

The parameter has to be the absolute path (ie. D:/WalletDump).

The GUI doesn't display change addresses in the receiving addresses Window, AFAIK so that'll probably not include everything. Try using listaddressgroupings by going to Help>Console. Unlock it with walletpassphrase PASSWORD 600 before that command if you have it password protected. Of course, the only way to be sure of the exact amount is by synchronizing Bitcoin Core fully.

As I asked you on your Arabic thread, is your Bitcoin Core node fully synchronized? Balances will not appear until the software processes the transactions. If there are older transactions inside, their total balance will be displayed first so the total balance might be incorrect until all of the newer transactions up to today have been processed.

If you use the dumpwallet command on the console in Bitcoin Core, you'll be able to get a list of addresses and private keys contained in your wallet.dat. You can then either import the private keys into another wallet like Electrum and replicate the transaction history/balance in a matter of minutes, or you can check the addresses on a blockexplorer to see if there is anything left in your wallet.

Otherwise... the best/safest option is to simply let Bitcoin Core finish syncing... you won't accidentally expose any private keys and you can be assured that whatever the balance displayed is when finished is correct.


Also, please don't create new threads when you have identical ones already posted: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5326968.msg56598378#new

It creates confusion and splits answers across the threads. You would be advised to lock one of the threads and stick to just one.
