Guys I know people have posted a lot about Electrum unconfirmed transactions but mine seems a little different. I was sending quite a lot of money to a gambling website (1.12 BTC) and my transaction has been unconfirmed(Low Fee) for 13 days. The gambling website told me on the phone that they cancelled the transaction on their end.
Blockchain.info says this: Transaction rejected by our node. Reason: Transaction was previously accepted but has been pruned from our database
At this point I don't want the transaction to be confirmed. I'd just like to have the coins back in my wallet. I tried to spend the unconfirmed coins and Electrum wouldn't allow it.
My transaction id is: 134a057e4e0aee1b846a2f1c6d12b3f93f5ad28849ca10c2efb3b27a9ab4aa71
Would much appreciate any help

If you are prepared to post the transaction's ID here we could help you. It's difficult to work out what's gone wrong without a transaction ID.
.... I was about to do that. And then I go to Electrum only to see that all the transactions magically went BACK to my wallet. It's all there. Every bit of it. O.o o.O I mean I'm not complaining or anything. This is lovely. But. Um. 7 days stuck and then unstuck magically? I thought I'd lost a good 100$. I'm scared to try to transfer the coins again. What if that happens for the second time???
Geez! What could of caused it in the first place? How can I avoid that again?
Do not be afraid to try and transfer the coins again, however this time use this website https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ to check the recommended fee or drag the slider fee far way to the right in Electrum and transaction will never get stuck again even if the network is overloaded with transactions.

Probably the 150,000+ unconfirmed transactions in the mempool... and the massive fees needed to get transactions confirmed these days...Without seeing what the original TX was, it is hard to say what was wrong with it... My first guess would be the fees were too low (Make sure you're running the latest version of Electrum v2.8.2 and that you have dynamic fees enabled in the preferences).
Another option could be that you were spending unconfirmed outputs from previous transactions... or it was a double spend...

I'm not sure what to do. The coins are just stuck in unconfirmed but at the same time it's saying I have a balance of 0.0662045 but when I try to send them to another wallet it tells me I do not have enough funds? What is going on? Is the coins there or not? Are the coins gone? The wallet I attempt to send it to over a week ago is no longer even working.
Does anyone know what I should do?
