# How to unlock unstaked tokens
Before you can unlock your previously staked tokens, you have to wait **7 days** (in block time).
{% hint style="info" %}
**INFO**
If you have unstaked amounts, then you can view their locking status as follows: go to `Developer -> Chain state -> Storage`, then select `parachainStaking -> unstaking`, select your account and click `+`. You will see a list of unstaked amounts and the blocks on which each amount will be unlocked.
{% endhint %}
In the Polkadot JS Apps () go to `Developer -> Extrinsics -> Submission`.
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Delegator" %}
1. Select any account with enough balance to cover the transaction fee, which is around 0.005 CGT (*using the selected account* field)
2. Select the appropriate extrinsic: `parachainStaking -> unlockUnstaked(target)`
3. Select the `Id` option (the *MultiAddress (LookupSource) field*)
4. Select the Curio Parachain address you delegated from (the *Id: AccountId* field)
5. Sign and submit the extrinsic (the *Submit Transaction* button)
{% hint style="info" %}
**INFO**
Even if you have not exited, reduced or removed your delegation, you can still have unstaked tokens. This can happen if either of the following events occurred
* You were kicked out of your collator candidate's delegation pool because all current delegators have a higher stake
* Your collator candidate intentionally left the collator pool.
{% endhint %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
