3 earlier sends failed
about 6 months back someone in this forum told me how to edit the BTC core so it would clean out failed sends and return the $ to my account
I saved a second copy of the core with these edits so I could easily do this if needed
today I ran that copy and after taking a couple hours to load the data when it looked nearly finished it crashed
thinking I only needed it to clean out the failed send's I ran the normal copy again and the $ had been returned to my account
so I sent a small payment to a guy I am trying to refund $17 to
and then sent the rest to my account at cryptopay.me
when I posted this the 2 sends where just marked un confirmed
not it looks like this  http://prntscr.com/etuc0x
the top 3 have 2 confirms each
im not sure what is going on but it appears the funds are finally getting moved
The bottom two transactions will never confirm and it should, IIRC be removed by the client automatically.

By removing the transaction that weren't confirmed, the client believed that the coins have never been used in a transaction. The client will hence use those inputs in a transaction that you create. Since they were confirmed, your earlier unconfirmed transactions will never confirm.
