Stuck Node on "Waiting Close"

I have a “Waiting Close” channel which I couldn’t receive fundings. How can I resolve this issue???

I had tried to open a channel with 2M sats as capacity. However, before the channel was opened (still “opening” states), my umbrel had a problem. Then, I uninstalled umbrel’s app and re-installed. When I recovered a lightning node, I found that the channel states is “Waiting Close”. It has passed already for 3 weeks. but I have not yet received fundings.

node ID:
03284d4fa21022e7a59c

tx from on-chain:
6e788a23d59d03ba11cd2284e09d691aa95a0c2411c4e0259679e36f004b766e

channel point:
6b87710e0e018d14757a025ffa501a2cfb33345ed69eb211a11e4b3e376230e8:1

peer node pubkey:
035b1ff29e8db1ba8f2a4f4f95db239b54069cb949b8cde329418e2a83da4f1b30

I can’t find the channel point on mempool. What does it mean??? The channel didn’t success to open, but 2M sats was withdrowed from on-chain???

Was there any sats on your side of the channel? You only receive on chain what you had off chain in the channel.

Let me know!

Yes, I should have 2M sats on my side of the channel. I did a command ">lincli pendingchannels". The result is as follows.

{
"channel": {
"remote_node_pub": "035b1ff29e8db1ba8f2a4f4f95db239b54069cb949b8cde329418e2a83da4f1b30",

},
"closing_txid": "",
"closing_tx_hex": ""

The both of local and remote balance are "0". Moreover, I couldn't find any closing txid.

Are you sure you didn't receive the funds? Check your utxos. I had such stuck ghost channels in the past.
