I am getting my Laptop fixed/replaced and logged on to see my ledger holdings and delete the desktop app.
I noticed my account was about half what it should be and have an unexplained transaction of 0.22btc out of my account.
So by saying that your Laptop is in a repair shop;
You meant that you've used another PC, installed Ledger Live to check your balance, then deleted the app?
Is there any chance that you've created another Ledger Bitcoin account in your original app in your Laptop and that missing 0.22BTC is in that second account?
If so, you should just re-create that account in the "
desktop app" where you checked your balance since it'll only restore 1 account by default.
Looking again at my Ledger and transactions I think I may have transferred money from BTC to USDC in order to protect it during the bear market but forgot about it. Either that or its been stolen
I am pretty sure its the former but is there any way to check.
In that case, you should see a transaction with a similar amount.
Identify the addresses shown in the output, the one with 0.22BTC should be a deposit address where you've done the BTC-to-USDC exchange.
Then, it's your job to identify where that address belongs.
