Chia eats all disk space on C:

[JavaMaxim]

Hi,

Now I have about 5,5GB of blockchain_wallet_v1_mainnet_nnn.sqlite and 21GB blockchain_v1_mainnet.sqlite ds file sizes. Free space on disk C: is up to 20GB.

Then, when I start Chia application, after couple of minutes it eats all free disk space (zero).

1. Is it a normal thing?
2. How much space in total does it need currently on disk C:?
3. Is it possible to places these db files on other disk?

Thanks for your help.

1. yes
2. The blockchain is under constant growth so the DB is also growing
3. yes. You can edit config.yaml with a different location. You can move the entire .chia directory with CHIA_ROOT, and some people use symlink
