7. Check the output on a BTC explorer to make sure it is the BTC you want to retrieve (and not an ordinal). For example: 71175d09c544715488951a4a8c1a606239f0faff440f617fed5c1be4486db762:0 https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/transactions/btc/71175d09c544715488951a4a8c1a606239f0faff440f617fed5c1be4486db762

Checking the relevant bitcoin transaction and output.

When in doubt check the specific output, for example in this transaction the output (7780 sats) contains an ordinal: https://mempool.space/tx/e6312e2afe0cf5413880c3c1ac3fe8f6fb43ebfbaca3ca37f1b61beea999f86d

The output is displayed like this (note the :0 at the end after the transaction hash) e6312e2afe0cf5413880c3c1ac3fe8f6fb43ebfbaca3ca37f1b61beea999f86d:0

Searching for it on an ordinals explorer you'll see that it has an inscription: https://ordinals-explorer.generative.xyz/output/e6312e2afe0cf5413880c3c1ac3fe8f6fb43ebfbaca3ca37f1b61beea999f86d:0 you do not want to retrieve this BTC.

An output with inscription, when you find any of these do not proceed with retrieving the BTC.

An output without inscription, this can be retrieved to a regular BTC address.
