im really lost on how to do this man

#91

Yes, in the %APPDATA%\Bitcoin folder. Copy and paste this into your path in explorer. :slight_smile:

If you want to manually access it its supposed to be in C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\Bitcoin for windows 7 and up.

If you removed anything from the installation directory (Program Files) you should also reinstall Bitcoin core.

You should leave this folder alone, in your explorer navigate to %APPDATA%\Bitcoin.

that is it

Yes, you can either remove this folder completely or just the chain data for a specific network.

If you made changes in the other directory you will probably have to reinstall Bitcoin core as well.

forgive my ignoranc, would you tell me how can i do it please?

#97

remove you mean erase them?

#98

You can either move one directory up (to Roaming) and remove the Bitcoin folder in that case you will also loose your wallet (notice the wallets folder). This is safe if you don’t have any funds there. Or just select all the other folders and delete them. :slight_smile:
