Why do people keep using that thing? Why would you do this to your computer? So many GB for transfering a bitcoin, my mind just hurts...
It is possible to prune the blockchain with Bitcoin Core Wallet. My "blocks" folder have only 511 Mb in size. It used to have 144 Gb before punning.
was your conf file changed perhaps? i know there is an option there where u say 1 or 0 i forgot what it is, but it tells the wallet to download the whole blockchain instead of just referring to it online.
