[Ethereum] Geth – How to clear queued transactions

go-ethereumtransactions

When typing txpool on Geth I get:

{ 
  status: {
    pending: 15,
    queued: 714
  },
  getStatus: function()
}

I don't even know why there are 714 queued transactions when there should be none. I guess I messed something up.

More importantly, my wallet just sent a week-old transaction to my kraken.com deposit that didn't go through at the time due to whatever reason but did now that I had sufficient ether.

How can I clear the transaction queue to prevent this from happening again?

Not a great solution, but it works:

  1. Exit geth
  2. Delete your geth/transactions.rlp file
  3. Restart geth and pending transactions should be empty (running eth.pendingTransactions outputs [])
