I opened a channel about 2 weeks ago now and it remains stuck as ‘Pending Open’. The Funding Transaction Id has 2365 confirmations. Under details it says:  
CHANNELD\_AWAITING\_LOCKIN

I don’t have an option inside of RTL (Core) to close the channel. Under peers I can’t disconnect either. Error message for that says:

Unable to Detach Peer. Try again later.

#### Error Code

500

#### Error Message

Peer Is In State Channeld\_awaiting\_lockin

Is there any way to close this channel out? or simply disconnect from the peer?
