Disc usage

[MORA]

Over the last 2 years, I have been running a bitcoin service.
Now the disc usage is getting out of hand, and I am wondering if there is any improvements in that in newer versions?

The one I am running is quite old (it does not have access to any bitcoins), and since I am using a custom patch, it may not be so simple to upgrade.

Also what amount of disc usage is acceptable atm ?

Currently I have 20GB used just by .bitcoin

20 gb?? my %appdata%\bitcoin is only 6 GB, plus a few megabytes for the binaries.

What size are the individual files in your directory?

Mine is only 6.4 GB:

Code:

$ pwd; du -h
~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin
 31M    ./blocks/index
6.2G    ./blocks
193M    ./chainstate
10.0M   ./database
6.4G    .

turned out the largest disc usage was from database logs 
They are no more, and client seems to be ok with their passing
