Ethereum ERC20 wallet mist question

[CryptoKranthi]

I have just downloaded Mist wallet on my windows 64.Initially I thought it would be a light weight wallet.But it seems downloading complete block chain.I don't have much memory on my system.If you don't mind can you tell me how much storage it occupies.How to completely delete that block chain from my system.I suspect if I delete the wallet the block chain will also be deleted? Is parity wallet is also same as mist or is light weight? Please clarify I don't have much knowledge about ETH wallets. I have used Myetherwallet it is the best one.But I downloaded Mist as a secondary wallet.Please let me know I will delete it.

Mist is a full client so it downloads the whole blockchain.

How to delete the blockchain? Depends on what system you are using (Win 7, Win 10, Linux etc.).

Deleting the wallet will not delete the blockchain.

In Menu Bar, click on File - Backup - Accounts. It'll open the following folder for you: C:\Users\<user account name>\AppData\Roaming\Ethereum. This folder contains 2 subfolders:

• geth: this is a reference implementation of Ethereum backend written in Go; the blockchain db is stored in ...geth\chaindata
• keystore: your encrypted private keys are stored there

To completely remove Ethereum Wallet or Mist from your computer, do the following:
(1) If you have any funds in your accounts, backup all your private keys from keystore folder.
(2) Uninstall Mist/Ethereum Wallet.
(3) Check C:\Users\<user account name>\AppData\Roaming folder and if necessary delete following subfolders: Ethereum, Ethereum Wallet, Mist. Once again, do this only after you backed up all your private keys.

EDIT: As far as I know, Parity is also full node wallet.

Thanks a ton.It helped me a lot.I was finding the files in program data but it didn't help me.Now I have deleted the whole block chain.I was using myetherwallet and I continue with it.No worries with Myetherwallet, it works fine.
