First I close Bitcoin Core...
The size of Bitcoin Core it is 105GB and I want to do pruning so I can have only 2 GB. I make a notepad file named bitcoin.conf
and then I write inside prune=2000
or I even tried prune=<2000>
.
Then, I have put this file at the install directory or I created the folder Bitcoin and I have put the notepad file in there at the path C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin
After all these I open the Bitcoin Core, but nothing happens, it still is 105 GB.
What I am doing wrong? Please help me, I can't understand!
bitcoin.conf
file? Can you check yourdebug.log
(should be in the same directory)? Also-prune=2000
will not result in a 2GB datadir-size, more 4GB because the UTXO set and header-index will take up some space too. Lowest possible size is-prune=550
.-prune=550
to your startup arguments. If you have already synced and verified the chain, it will immediately (at startup) prune the chain.
