limbo channel ? please help.

HI,
i opened thrug a triangle swap 2 months ago a channel to Austen-pushkin.  the channel appears in thunderhub , but strangely is off ( red button).  never been up it seems.   i then looked into the triangle and noticed it is also in some kind of limbo as " pending channel detection"  - Swap ID: 17333 . Also i don't see the transaction and can't find it. can you help ? I am bit worried being a 10M channel. is there a way to complete the triangle/channel or get my funds back ? 
here is the thunderhub view

This means the the node Austen-pushkin is down, or appears down from your side anyway. Since the node is still alive according to explorers, first you need to revive the channel. The way you do it is go to Peers and remove and re-add the node using their address:
02a2106a4681d68080cf3d8a3b706d6925142aee0caf99302e481dbb08feabfa1a@uuzrkophdjles63eeuuza6hte7ufo4pq75cu7qefa4yja2p6ojfasfyd.onion:9735

If this doesn't work, do not worry, you can still get your funds back. You should force close the channel and you will get your funds buck after some time. You will have to be patient, but it will happen. Make sure you set a high enough fee so the transaction confirms fast.

THanks for your help.
OK.
did that  : i removed it using RTL ( didn't see how to do it with thunder) and recreated it using thunder. 

 it has been 10 minutes . nothing new. should i wait more before forceclosing ?

also adding to previous message. Autin  peer  has been investigating too and says :
 "Ride the Lightning shows the channel as "Funding Canceled", so it seems that it never made it through in the high fee environment a couple months ago " 
is that possible ?
otherwise RTL from my side, says :

Since it's visible in your Thunderhub, it's most defintely a channel that has opened at one point in the past. You can force close it if nothing else worked.
