Does the bitcoin-wallet offer any more tools?
Currently there's only two other commands: one to create a wallet (create) and another that lists information about a wallet (info).

Be sure to make a backup copy of your wallet.dat before you run it.
Yes, it's supposed to make a backup before it does anything but like anything involving money it's better to do your own backup before anything else touches the file.

I'm only using copies, but thanks for your reply. Yes, it's supposed to make a backup before it does anything but like anything involving money it's better to do your own backup before anything else touches the file.

If you're still using Windows7, open command prompt to Bitcoin\daemon where bitcoin-wallet.exe is located (change the directory if you're not using the default).
Note: It will not return with a response (aside from errors), you can check the data directory and a backup of the wallet will be created upon using the command.
Thanks for your help. Code:
cd C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon
For the default wallet 'wallet.dat', this command should work:Code:
bitcoin-wallet -datadir="D:\Bitcoin" salvage
For other wallets, use NotATether's command.Note: It will not return with a response (aside from errors), you can check the data directory and a backup of the wallet will be created upon using the command.

The -salvagewallet command line option was moved into the bitcoin-wallet utility as of Bitcoin Core 0.21, and its name has changed to salvage.
Thanks, how do I run that on my wallet files? My wallet files are In D:\Bitcoin, and Daemon is in the same. I have 3 wallet files with different names. Does the bitcoin-wallet offer any more tools? Code:
bitcoin-wallet -wallet= salvage
