I got a new computer and synced Daedalus for the 1st time in years. After the completion, Daedalus wallet shows delegation as unknown, I don’t remember the name of pool I am in.
I pasted the code from the article into command prompt (Windows 11), nothing…How do you use command prompt to interact with Daedalus Mannet?
The commands in that article probably only work really well on Unix.
You could also try to find the information by searching one of your addresses on an explorer like adastat.net or cardanoscan.io.
And you could use your wallet with another wallet app like Eternl, Lace, Typhon, … https://cardano.org/what-is-ada/#wallets (by just importing the seed phrase) which would have the added benefit of not wasting hundreds of GiB of your hard drive and hours of your life syncing.
I found it and it’s still active! It was 98% saturated when I join it years ago, understandably it’s now only %27. https://cardanoscan.io/pool/e14a650c7a58d229bbb663cb42fffb36d68c2a6cecf0fd7b9c47e399
IIRC, this pool pledged 10+ millions ADA back then. Now it only it pledges just 5 ADA. Is it a signal to delegate my stake to another pool?
What are the reasons for pool owners to delist their pools from Daedalus? In the worse case scenario, what would happen to my stake if the pool operator just neglects it or retires it?
Yes, they lowered the pledge over time:

Not necessarily. Unfortunately, pledge has surprisingly little influence on the rewards you get from a pool with the way Cardano’s parameters are set at the moment.
With a 2 months ROS of 3.02%, it is still among the top 50 on https://pooltool.io/pools.
Wave is a well-known multi-pool operator with Hoskinson himself among its advisers: https://wavegp.com/wave-digital-assets-team/ They were for example also chosen as the stake pool operator for Djed’s reserve: https://cotinetwork.medium.com/djed-update-jan-30th-c64ed7099728 (Not with WAV7, but with a different stake pool of theirs.)
On the other hand, staking with such a large multi-pool operation is considered bad for Cardano’s decentralisation by many in the community: https://cardano-community.github.io/support-faq/select-pool-to-delegate/#number-of-pools-run-by-operator
I don’t think at all that they actively decided to be delisted from Daedalus. As far as I can see, Daedalus doesn’t display because it thinks that there is something wrong with the pool metadata:
The worst case is that you don’t get rewards.
