You have a typo in "walletbroadcast", it won't work like this.
I'm not sure what you're asking here, have you tested these 4 steps already?

At current
fees, you'd need to use
your entire balance as fee to get it confirmed. My guess is you have about 50 inputs, most of them aren't worth the fee required to send them now.
After you've abandoned this transaction, my advice would be to Enable coin control features (under Settings > Options > Wallet), and use only your largest inputs. Anything under 0.001
BTC isn't worth the fee at the moment. Keep them, and use them only if fees ever go down in the future.
Hi LoyceV, thanks for replying,
Sorry typo my fault, I have 80 inputs and are majority are payments from 2 cloud mining companies back few years that i forgot about, my concern was my wallet trying to re-broadcast the abandoned transaction as the transaction will still be visible on the blockchain, i guess my wallet does not care if there is an unconfirmed transaction on the blockchain because it has been abandoned in my wallet?
Hi
Hoping someone can assist me, I have the below transaction which is unconfirmed, have tried broadcasting numerous times and others have too and accelerating it with no success and i understand it may never be confirmed due to the size vs fee, my questions are, if i abandon the transaction as per below steps and when my wallet (Bitcoin core Knots 0.15.1) restarts again as normal without the step 2 command so my wallet is broadcasting again that when my wallet re-syncs with the block chain the unconfirmed transaction will not re-appear in my wallet and that my wallet will not try to re-send the transaction again?
I don`t wish to advise my TX ID as i want to stop trying to broadcast it, i don`t wish to try to re-send with higher fee either i just want the BTC returned to my wallet, i understand this may take some time until all the nodes drop my TX from their mempools.

Thanks in advance
Additionally, you could use -zapwallettxes in your bitcoin.conf, or cmd see
https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/45988/how-do-you-apply-zapwallettxes-on-windows which basically removes all unconfirmed/stuck transactions from your bitcoin-core gui, (+ your own "mempool"), Although you still need to wait untill all the other nodes drop your transaction aswell..
Thanks AdolfinWolf will try that if my 4 steps does not work.
