Crypto Wallets Taking Up All Space

in #crypto6 years ago

So have you ever wondered, since you started getting new crypto wallets, your hdd space is getting less. The reason for that is, once you got your wallet it most likely started downloading the blockchain to your "coin"/"Token".
These blockchains sizes can variry very much from chain to chain, but often they are 2-3GB.

How to delete them from your pc. (Make backup of your wallet FIRST).

  1. Make sure you have backed up your wallet before you contunie.
  2. Now open a random folder and go to "%appdata%
  3. In this folder you will see some folders for some of your wallets.
  4. You can also go into %appdata%/Local which also contains some chains.
  5. Right click on the folders, check how much each folder is taking up hdd.
  6. Delete the folder if you like, but only if you have backed up your wallet.
