You'd be wasting your time.

If someone is owning a too heavy wallet to move it the worst that can happen is that the transactions get canceled after 14 days!  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
Transactions don't "get canceled". Once broadcasted, each node can do whatever they want with it. Some will drop it, and your own wallet may drop it (depending on it's default, Bitcoin Core for instance keeps broadcasting). But some nodes may keep your transaction forever, which means as long as all the inputs are valid, it can eventually get confirmed.

I don't think so as the transaction would be mainly ignored.. and at the worst as the TXs will still remain unconfirmed you could just spend it again when you want!
Spending at least one of the inputs is the only way to make sure your older transaction becomes invalid.



Let's stop giving factually incorrect advice in my thread. Miners don't fall for the "trick" to apply CPFP on a large low-fee transaction if the effective fee is low. There's no point trying.
