BitMaxz - Thanks for showing me "Voidtools"  I was able to locate the debug file.

Strange that the file path was:

This PC>Local Disk (C:)>Users>DennyLight>AppData>Roaming>Bitcoin

But the file explorer under DennyLight looked like this:

nc50lc - your instructions worked perfect and my node started the IBD right away. 


Thanks both for your patience and guidance as computers are not my specialty.

BitMaxz:  I am unable to locate AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin on my C: and E: drives.  For what its worth I did not setup a wallet while running the pruned node.  My GUI was blank but did show ~32 active connections and data transmitting.

nc50lc:  I have read the ## Configuration File Path

"The configuration file is not automatically created; you can create it using your favorite text editor. By default, the configuration file name is `bitcoin.conf` and it is located in the Bitcoin data directory, but both the Bitcoin data directory and the configuration file path may be changed using the `-datadir` and `-conf` command-line options."

Where is the Bitcoin data directory?
