thanks for your kind reply,  
I take advantage of your kindness to ask you, very briefly:  
For what reason these orders with low fees can not be canceled?  
They are not in the blockchain yet.  
If I use Indiesquare, can I remove them?  
Thanks again

The problem is counterwallet exchange works like a bitcoin transaction. So creating a order pushes it on the bitcoin network and by design these cannot be cancelled but only confirm or expire.

Can you check in counterwallet that bitcoin amount is reduced? That means transaction was initiated. How much fee did you pay?
