Topic: Help find bitcoin in bitcoin core (Read 390 times)
I assume your wallet now contains transactions made on Bitcoin Cash network and therefor shows wrong balance. You can start Bitcoin Core with the argument -zapwallettxes and it should delete those transactions. Then start it again with -rescan and it should show the correct balance after it finishes.

I had prefork bitcoin on bitcoin core. On the same machine I installed bitcoin abc to get the bitcoincash. I didn't know that bitcoinabc overwrites bitcoin core files in same directory.
When I opened bitcoinabc it showed having bitcoin cash same amount as btc I had. So I sent btc cash to different wallet.
Now I have to reinstall bitcoincore and it shows no btc.
Does anyone know how to get btc back to bitcoincore?
Thanks!
You can check your Bitcoin address at blockchain.info: does it still hold your Bitcoin funds?Windows

Did you make a backup of your wallet.dat file before installing Bitcoin ABC? If so, put back your backup and load Bitcoin Core.
If you don't have a backup, I hope you didn't also delete your Bitcoin ABC, as that wallet now holds your private keys. If you can't restore your original wallet.dat, you can export all private keys from Bitcoin ABC, and import them into your Bitcoin Core wallet.
Be careful when handling private keys: don't screenshot them, don't show them to anybody, and use a clean computer.
I don't trust anything related to Bitcoin Cash, so after running that software on your PC, it's safest to consider it compromised. For starters: it overwrites files that it shouldn't touch, but who knows what else it does (or steals).
