i never really had an idea vs i never actually had an idea

Both phrases are correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. 'I never really had an idea' implies a lack of a clear understanding or concept, while 'I never actually had an idea' suggests a denial of having any idea at all. The choice between 'really' and 'actually' depends on the nuance you want to convey.
