Storage Questions

[CryptoDevving]

Is there a way to optimize storage or prune unused blocks from storage? I am curious about some work arounds. It seems that the blockchain becomes very large after being up for months. Is there anyway to address the storage concerns?

Hi @CryptoDevving

First of all, can you let us know which directory is using most of the disk space?

[CryptoDevving]

All bootnode directories. I assume it is normal for it to get to around 4GB or so. But if that is over a few months and we expand that to years it will be terabytes. Which gets expensive for storage.

Hi @ivanbozic21 ,

I'm also curious if your team has any future plans relating to pruning or optimizing storage? It does seem like it'll be an issue in a year or so for those of us that have been running polygon-edge since the early days..
