No disc space (?)

Hello!

I am trying to use Litecoin Core and it is trying for days now to sync but i always get a message about no space and it stops and shuts down. I restart my computer, open the app again, it’s syncing a bit, then same message. I’ve been doing this restart thing some hours now and slowly the syncing is being completed but now, at 67% it crashes all the time and can’t continue. Help! What can I do?

Thank you

Hmm, this is kinda weird. I’m not too sure what would cause this issue. Maybe you could try moving random files into the Litecoin Data Directory to see if there’s something weird with your computer causing Litecoin Core to think that the disk is full?

If you don’t need a full node Litecoin Wallet, you could instead try using Electrum-LTC, which is a light wallet, which doesn’t have to sync all of this block data (which can be hundreds of gbs big).

A bit late but maybe still active

The most important you need to restore your wallet is the wallet.dat in your Litecoin data folder.

Maybe you have another pc or a friend who is running ltc core, or offering there hardware for the case.

Anyway if you create a new wallet with your node, it creates a folder in your data folder with a wallet.dat in it. Its a fresh and empty wallet so you can delete the new created one and replace it with your old one.

Restart ltc core and it should recognize it has a wallet without data to it and starts to resync (that’s not a download again, more a scan and just some little download of missing tx data)

Easy huh? :sweat_smile:

Well I don’t know how to open a wallet.dat with electrum maybe there is a way but I don’t know it.

You would have to open it with ltc core again to get access.

Try pruning your blockchain data (settings > wallet > enable pruning) or manually free up disk space. Litecoin Core needs 15GB+ free space. Alternatively, use a light wallet like Electrum-LTC for faster setup.
