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 134 Gb before pruning.

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.

I needed to change the bitcoin.conf file. Actually, I created that file with just this line:
prune=550

550 is the minimum number for pruning, if I can recall correctly. Anything below this number with result in no prune.
