my 250G c drive was suddenly showing as full
On investigation
blockchain_v1_mainnet.sqlite is taking 157G of space???
Surely this isnt right?
Any one any help please…
and just found another 11G
blockchain_wallet_v1_mainnet_4

This is correct, but you can upgrade to V2 database which is like half that size (from Chia version 1.3 and above)
Thanks for the reply…
I am on 1.4 but havent synced yet… had system off line for 3 weeks…
I wonder if this will change when synced
It won’t go to v2 by itself. You have to upgrade it yourself. Below is a link to the methods to do so.

Thanks for this wolfGT
One slight problem…
I dont use CLI …
Questions
Yes & if not now with v2, it probably will be again in the future
Reinstalling from scratch would mean a complete re-sync which will take days.
3 Would this risk loosing my 2 chia?
You won’t lose you Chia balance so long as you have mnemonic
4 Would I just have the same problem i.e. too small a c drive??? or would this load the v2 by default.??
Overall strongly recommend using the CLI - very straightforward
You will ultimately need a bigger drive or at least store the dB on a bigger drive going forward
Well, do it anyway. Even if you only normally use the GUI, the CLI commands are still there for you to use. The command to do this are very simple and the process is clearly documented for you. Besides reloading completely and re-syncing (bad option), this is what you got.
