blk0002.dat 235mb blkindex.dat 760mb addr.dat 55mb wallet.dat 5mb /database/ = two 10mb log I was cleaning my small size SSD and found this to be too big, is this normal / what can be purged ?

There are tiny trustless alternatives such as Electrum and trustless online wallets like http://blockchain.info/wallet .

Create a shortcut of the btc client, right click on the new shortcut, click properties, at the end of the target field, add -datadir=DIRECTORY , hit apply, ok. In that directory you have chosen, copy the contents that are in the original directory over to your new directory. Double click the shortcut. All should be well, no more ssd writes and saves room for trim/garbage collection. Save your nands. Title: Re: "\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin" 3Gb size normal ?

Someone should suggest this option to Gavin to be implemented by default into the client. Cheers Title: Re: "\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin" 3Gb size normal ?
