Hi, Please . .

Please, help me uninstall Bitcoin-qt wallet from my windows7. My C: drive space is diminishing day by day as the sync goes on.

How do i delete completely??

Please suggest me some online wallet.

Can i change the bitcoin address in the GUIminer to a new address  ???  :'(

go to start type in %appdata% and delete the bitcoin folder make sure the wallet is closed

Hey, what do you mean by "Make sure the wallet is closed" ??? :o  ???

if you have the wallet file running (.exe) close it so the blockchain isn't syncing anymore then delete the folder I told you to delete

Well, BitCoin-Qt takes about 12GB of disk space if I'm correct. Delete the Bitcoin folder in C:\ drive, make sure you can view hidden files and then open Start and type in the text box "%appdata%" without the quotes of course and delete the Bitcoin folder in it. I'd recommend you MultiBit, it's not online wallet, but people use it as BitCoin-Qt alternative, it doesn't sync so long and doesn't take such space on your PC. Also you could try Armory, but as far as I know for that you'll need BTC-Qt, so basically switch to MultiBit... :)

EDIT: Yes you can change the address in GUIminer, but you'll have to edit the miner. ;)

Delete the block files :)

Sure. I will delete Bitcoin-qt using the above method.  :-*

I have a COINBASE online account and I am currently using GUI-miner and mining via Slush's pool.

Can i update my COINBASE wallet address and delete the Bitcoin-qt address in Slush's mining server?  ??? :o

The blockchain is what is taking up all the space. It is located (usually) in c:\users\[username]\appdata\Bitcoin

Delete this folder after ensuring that the bitcoin program (usually referred to as the "wallet") is not running.

If you will not be using the bitcoin-qt wallet again, then you need to update (or just remove) any references to the BTC addresses associated with the wallet in your coinpools, and any other out-paying services you have. You can get online wallets, or use one of the low-overhead wallet options (like multibit) referenced on the bitcoin.org website. But remember to follow security guidelines for online wallets. Search them here if you don;t know what these guidelines are.

Hope this helps.
