| Feb 24, 2018 at 18:41 | comment | added | Riccardo Casatta | yeah sorry for the wrong terminology, anyway I want all the blockchain data. I still suppose the wrong files causing problems are only the recent rev* files. I would like to see other answer | |

It looks like Bitcoin Core doesn't verify the undo data as much as it does for the block data, but it still does some verification. If you delete the wrong files, it will have problems. | |
| Feb 23, 2018 at 14:32 | comment | added | Riccardo Casatta | I don't want to prune. I need a full node. Did you actually test what you are saying? In which occasion the node will recognize some rev files are missing? I am asking because I stopped the node, moved some old rev files and restarted the node. There is no error message in the log neither the regenerated files | |
