 you just have dust, then, i guess

if it costs more than it's worth to move it, just abandon it

dust means anything much under like $5 or so on chain

this is why i recommend spending the extra to get a 1-2tb disk to store a full bitcoin chain on and then you have a lot more options for this kind of situation

bitcoin core now has really nice coin control features which let you select where you are going to spend from in your UTXO set

i use this often to make my transactions simpler, so if i have 524ksat in one UTXO, and i want to spend 500ksat, it might make sense to actually add a secondary output instead of change operation to add that to another, larger, old UTXO, since moving it twice is going to be more expensive
