Title: 60 GB folder called "Bitcoin" Post by: rejectfiat on February 19, 2020, 08:59:14 PM I found a rather large folder on my computer simply called "Bitcoin", but I can't find a wallet/program connected with it. Anyone know which wallet it belongs to?

You can pick up a copy of it here: https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/ Title: Re: 60 GB folder called "Bitcoin" Post by: LoyceMobile on February 19, 2020, 09:10:45 PM You should create a backup of the file wallet.dat before installing the latest version of Bitcoin Core. Better safe than sorry.

If you dont need a full-node wallet you can also go with Electrum as a light client.

Anyone know which wallet it belongs to? You have to do backup of the wallet.dat before installing the latest version of Bitcoin Core 0.19.0.1. The link to download it is at https://bitcoin.org/en/download - you sometimes see that link in the top left corner of the forum.https://i.ibb.co/MShK162/wafafgasg.png Backup, how many backup do you need? You should make multiple backup of your wallet.dat and use one of them to recover your Bitcoin Core. In case one of your backup will be broken in the recovery process, you will be safe and have other backups to recover it again.
