How to delete conflicted transactions?

[DjangoSi]

Hey,

I have two transactions which are "conflicted" in the bitcoin client (mac).
Is it possible to delete this transactions?
I would not resend this transactions, just "delete" them.

Thanks

What like deleting the transaction from the Blockchain ? That's impossible mate . It's irreversible and you can't do anything about it .

you can't. Just ignore it and it will disappear in the noise.

Do what mate ? I just said it's impossible to delete a transaction that you have made before . once it's on the Blockchain it stays on the Blockchain and that's it .

Assuming you are using Bitcoin Core (you should always make that clear when asking for help) then you can use "pywallet" to delete the txs from your wallet (assuming this is what you are actually wanting to do).

Be sure of course to back up your wallet before playing with pywallet as you could very easily loose BTC using this tool.

As @Madness pointed out this will have zero affect upon the blockchain - but it will stop your wallet from re-sending the deleted tx (I have had such a situation happen due to an insufficient tx fee).

Oh I missunderstood , I thought you meant on the blockchain , so you meant on the Bitcoin wallet ? Well you should tell us what wallet are you using mate If it's Bitcoin Core then simply do what CIYAM said above me .

Sure, I mean the Bitcoin Core (Client for mac).
The transactions are conflicted since end of 2014.

I will try pywallet

What do you mean "conflicted" ?  are the transactions confirmed?

Its not possible for confirmed transactions to be conflicted. It is however possible to have conflicted (spending the same inputs) in your wallet. One confirmed and one (or more) unconfirmed and will never confirm. Using pywallet is the perfect answer as it allows to remove these TX from the wallet file.
