Hi,

My C drive says it is full. Under C:\User\myname\AppData\Parity\Ethereum\chains\ethereum\db
I see tons and tons of gigabyte files here. Can I delete all these? I there a simple way to copy and paste all these chains to my D Drive? What is the most efficient/safe way to fix this problem?

Thank you in advance.

Please upgrade to 1.7.11-stable or 1.8.5-beta and reset your database with:

parity.exe db kill

Where can I preform this upgrade?

[rbranston]

I figured it out.

Im switching my parity wallet to chrome instead of firefox because i was told its better. Its asking me for a new token now though. Do I just get that from this page?

Wait until your client is fully synchronized.

Your issue will be fixed in 1.8.6 coming up this week.

Ok,

I did a parity kill and my chain is resyncing now.

I was also told to do this cmd: parity.exe --min-peers 100 --max-peers 500 --log-file=parity.log

is that ok?

looks good.

Will I keep having to delete my parity chains every few weeks though to keep my C drive from filling up again?

[5chdn]

No. Not once we released 1.8.6 :)

Stay tuned :)
