Bitcoin core problem

[smho_16]

How do I uninstall Bitcoin core from a Linux machine, it eats more than half of wy total space, I was just curious to install it as I saw many people telling its not hackable, but I don't care anymore, I just want my space back. Any help here ?

It isn't Bitcoin Core that is eating up all of the space, but rather the blockchain. You can enable blockchain pruning and it will save you a lot of space. Just start bitcoin core with the -prune option and it will prune the blockchain so that it only uses a few Gb instead of 60+ Gb.

First backup your wallet.dat and then delete the data dir using this command sudo rm -rf .bitcoin

Thanks mates, will try the - prune option, by the way is this the most secure and less hackable bitcoin wallet out there, it appears this to be by reading in the forum. I may switch from Multibit to this one especially now that multibit is being sold to keepkey.

It is a full node wallet which makes it very secure. I would say that armory is more secure, but a lot of its security come from its utilization of bitcoin core.

Multibit if an SPV wallet, which is subsystem less secure than a full node.

Not hackable on an individual forefront.Bitcoin core runs on a peer to peer network ,there is always a insecurity someone might just disrupt the network and maybe it will affect your computer in some or the other way .

Choose Electrum over multibit.In multibit at times you will have to reload the blockchain over and over so it remains in synch.Electrum is hassle free.
