Can you name some of them? I have a transaction sent from blockchain.info wallet (it seems that it does not have this feature) and have set the fee too low accidentally and the transaction is get stuck. Can I recover the whole wallet without another brandname of wallet and double spent the transaction to effectively cancel the previous transaction?

Blockchain.info is notorious for making it hard to export your private keys. Electrum is a good light-weigt wallet which offers all of these functions.

<p>Most Bitcoin wallets, including Bitcoin Core, have the feature to help get an unconfirmed transaction that is still in the mempool be more likely to get included in a block by "re-sending" to another address with an added transaction fee.  This new address can be one that you own, so you'd be sending the bitcoin to yourself.  This feature is called "Child Pays For Parent", or CPFP.  </p>
