yes it is synced

Well you can try this method but first take a backup of your wallet.dat

1:  Use this method to remove that unconfirmed transaction, since you are using QT, this option might work.

2. Most preferable option is to export your private keys and import them on electrum.org or blockchain.info wallet and spend those coins again with atleast 0.001 BTC fees.

3. Install bitcoin core and run it, do not delete anything. Since your bitcoin is fully synced it should show your transactions and if it does and first option does not work, you can try to abandon that transaction.
