There's an "Open channel" entry in History. However, the transaction ID doesn't show up in the blockchain after trying to explore it. (  I abandoned the attempt to open channel with the merchant and I did not sign the transaction).

How could I retrieve my locked funds? It's been forever in locked state.
If it's not showing in the blockchain,
then perhaps it's saved as a "local transaction" since the server where you're connected to won't see it in its database nor mempool.

The funds should be restored by removing the local transaction from the history (right-click->remove) or read the next sentence.
For the channel (or funds), I still haven't found a way to remove those "bugged channels" that I've created in testnet
but if there's no other active channels in your wallet, you can just create another wallet by restoring your wallet's seed phrase.
