The transaction-abandon command in Mintlayer allows users to mark an unconfirmed transaction as abandoned in the wallet database. This action makes the consumed inputs available for reuse, although it does not guarantee that the network will also disregard the transaction. It's primarily used for transactions that are either not confirmed or are invalid.
Note: While this command marks the transaction as abandoned in your wallet, it does not remove the transaction from the blockchain or mempool. Other network participants may still consider it valid until it is either confirmed or invalidated by the network.
