"Create a backup of your wallet before you do ANYTHING else.  Store that backup in a safe place.  If you do not have a good backup of your wallet, YOU SHOULD NOT BE USING YOUR WALLET AT ALL!
"
I have a copy/backup from November 6.

"Other options are to remove the transaction from your wallet and re-send it with a higher fee, or contact a mining pool and offer to pay them to confirm it for you."

Problem, it's not possible to remove the transaksjon from wallet, as I told before.

It is possible to remove the transaction from the wallet.  This has been explained to you four times already.

- snip -
start core with -zapwallettxes (instructions on how to do it here). The bitcoins will return to your wallet and you'll be able to resend.

- snip -
"Abandon transaction" is grey.
Second method then. Use zapwallettxes.

- snip -
It will delete all of your transaction and do a rescan (your confirmed transactions will show up again after rescan).
- snip -

- snip -
zap it.

You expressed concern about "destroying your wallet":

- snip -
I'm afraid to use that. Maybe it will destroy the wallet.
- snip -

But, if you have good backups of your wallet stored in a safe place, then why do you care if it destroys your wallet?  It won't, but even if it somehow does, you can just replace it from the backup.
