Rewrote more clearly below.

I don't know how much of this is relevant, sorry.

I sent all coins from one computer to my main one leaving an empty, but used, wallet. I deleted it. I sent .01 to the new wallet. While the tx was still unconfirmed I backed it up and deleted it. Later I swapped it back in and it still says unconfirmed even though the computer that sent has it confirmed now. I used -rescan, it was an old version (3.15) and now I've got 3.21 and still the same. What happened? Do I need to reload all blocks?

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.

This description is very unclear -- you've got many wallets and many transactions, and you refer to all of them as "it" -- it's hard to know what's going on.

I send all coins from wallet A to wallet B. Delete wallet A. Send .01 from wallet B to wallet C which appeared after wallet A was deleted. Before the tx gets confirmed I backup wallet C and delete it. Later I restore wallet C and the tx is still showing unconfirmed, but it is confirmed according to wallet B and blockexplorer.

I tried rescan, I upgraded from 3.15 to 3.21 and tried rescan again. Nothing. I assume deleting the blockchain and redownloading will work, but what's going on? Should I try something else first?

I have made another tx from B to C and it worked.

That's much more clear, indeed, but I'm sorry, I don't know what would cause it, but I'm pretty new here.  It seems to me that if the restore of wallet C was successful, and you compare it's receive address with what you see on blockexplorer, then rescan should have worked.  I just had a similar problem, but not as complicated, and rescan worked for me: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=6833.0
Good luck getting your 0.01 back!
