<p>Try doing a rescan. start the client with -rescan</p>

<p>That parameter will tell the software to scan the block chain for missing wallet transactions.</p>

However, this will not help to get rid of transactions that are already there.

<p>I transferred 10 btc from my Coinbase acct to my wallet.  The transaction appears twice in my wallet, one went right through and confirmed within minutes, the other has 0 confirmations (after 2 weeks), and the transaction ID does not show up on blockchain.  So I got my bitcoins, but now I have this "phantom" unconfirmed transaction in my wallet.  How do I get rid if it?</p>
