 I just tried doing that with alby today, before they shut down their custodial wallet.  I was able to move all but 15 sats off of it.  I think each wallet has their own rules for that, but when i tried moving the last few sats it said the amt did not meet minimum amt, so i gave up. Never messed with wos much though.  You might try moving smaller amts at a time.  Today with alby i tried moving the balance all at once, but didnt work (a few thousand sats).  Then i tried moving smaller amts, which worked till it got down to 15 sats.  Thats all i know about it.
 
 I think I'll need to just zap myself  
 Alby app doesn't work. 
 At all?  I know they're moving everyone to the alby hub thing, but i was able to get into my wallet still.
 
 I deleted my account yesterday after draining my wallet/sending Sats 丰 to a functional wallet I already had.  There is an option to answer several questions about why I was leaving, which I did extensively, with candor and appreciation for all @Alby has done for the past year and a half. I got a very nice email back this morning.  Please reach out to @bumi  or @Moritz , they are lovely individuals who will respond and assist. 
 The website. Getalby.com 
 I emailed the support and they said they deliberately blocked it.  
 Wth??    Thats wild.  Like i said, just yesterday i was able to move most of mine out.  Dont know if it makes a difference, but i was on desktop, using the alby browser plugin thing that i installed a good while back. Havent tried logging in to the main alby page in a while.   Thats not right that they're blocking you. You might try asking them in a public question on nostr, tagging them.  Dont remember when their deadline was for shutting down the custodial wallets. 
 What is blocked? 
The issue with emptying a lighting wallet are the lighting fees which are hard to know upfront and there are related attack vectors to steal funds. 
Thus probably all lightning wallets require a small reserve based on the amount you try to send and this sadly makes it hard to send the last sat sometimes. 
If you have issues contact support and I am sure you get the sats in no time.  
 Please respond to nostr:nprofile1qqsr78mpr6le293d5z88x72am77n5t4luke7mszf2dtqx2hnl5j34gspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekk7mf0qy08wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wshsrtvfnr

 I emailed support. They said it was the ANS. I'm waiting to hear back from them. 
 and it was solved?  
 Haven't checked since I emailed them. 
 Just tried it. It works.
