# Revoke a Red Envelope

## How to Revoke a Red Envelope <a href="#id-22fb" id="id-22fb"></a>

Red Envelopes are live for snatching for 24 hours, then they expire and no one can SNATCH.

If you sent a Red Envelope that expired before all the Runes were SNATCHED, you can revoke the remaining Runes back to your RE Wallet.

First, let’s pull up a list of Red Envelopes again.

Type <mark style="color:red;">**/list**</mark>

We can see that **RE 330** is expired and **4666.69** Runes remain unclaimed! _Let's get those Runes back!_

Type: <mark style="color:red;">**/revoke 330**</mark>&#x20;

Now these **4666.69** Runes will return to the sending **RE Wallet**.

Let’s check our list again.

Awesome, the Runes were **Revoked** to the wallet.

If you want to see them back in your wallet, just type:

&#x20;<mark style="color:red;">**/wallet**</mark>&#x20;

And you will see your wallet balance.&#x20;
