Hi! I've tried to use pywallet (current jackjack-jj master) to delete some long unconfirmed transactions from my 0.8.1 wallet.dat, per the instructions at...

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=85689.msg944529#msg944529

After the deletions, the client no longer reports the transactions in 'listtransactions' or 'gettransaction'... so far so good. But, it doesn't seem to have rediscovered the still-unspent old outputs. A launch with '-rescan' didn't help.

Did I miss a step? Does something else about the 0.8.1 indexing need to be reset/rebuilt?

So you deleted the tx, you made the rescan, and after that the client still doesn't show the deleted unconfirmed transaction?
If so, the client should definitely count your unspent coins in your balance
Did you check on blockchain.info if the transaction really never broadcasted?

Deleted the txns (several in a chain), allowed the rescan to complete. The client still shows the balance depleted, as if it still had the unconfirmed transactions. But, requesting the unconfirmed transaction by txid gives nothing.

I actually pushed the problem txns directly to blockchain.info, in the hopes that'd help them get mined... but over 16 hours later, no luck on any of the chain of 6+ txs (each dependent on the one before).

I've now also tried a full -reindex=1 -txindex=1 launch... still no luck. The needed prior output doesn't reappear in 'listunspent'... whatever pywallet did to delete the transaction didn't undo the record of that output being used... nor does -rescan, -reindex, etc.

I was hoping pywallet would leave things in a state where I could issue a fresh, higher-fee transaction as if the unconfirmed txns never existed... but now think I may have to do that with the raw txn api... and consider this wallet damaged by the pywallet txn-deletions.

i had this problem too but luckily my tx got included some hours later. unfortunately i didnt find a way to fix it.
