I have a transaction pending for 9 days now and I can’t cancel it. It’s not showing on my wallet. It’s a random transaction sent to myself of no value. I don’t understand how it got there. The wallet is useless until I can figure out how to cancel it. Any help is appreciated.

Transaction hash: 0x90d73a4cb81b2e54b71c0e611e626d8a9d0d66952c700bb13eef752be7574df0

Hi fren! That sucks! Luckily there is a method to solve your issue (phew!)

You need to send another TX to yourself with the same nonce as the one that is stuck. The nonce should be 269 from what I can see but you should double check.

Follow the guide here under “2: Custom Nonce”: [https://support.metamask.io/hc/en-us/articles/360015489251-How-to-speed-up-or-cancel-a-pending-transaction](https://support.metamask.io/hc/en-us/articles/360015489251-How-to-speed-up-or-cancel-a-pending-transaction)

Most importantly, the gas fee should be sufficient. Check gas tracker on etherscan to see the current gas fee.
