Hey, I'm newish to all this and wanted some advice from someone more knowledgable than me.

I installed the Monero GUI wallet and chose an external drive to store the blockchain (as I have a small HD on my laptop) ... I started to suck GBs from my local drive however and so I had to quit the app to stop it eating all my space completely.

But now I would like to know where the big file is and how I can delete it, does anyone know? I would really like to run a node (for the sake of Monero and for me) but unless I can't run it using an external drive, then this isn't going to work for me and I'll to continue to use myMonero.com

Thanks for your help.

Gavin

Hi @dEBRUYNE, I'm on a Macbook Air running MacOS Sierra

Thank you, Andretti83, I shall get on with searching how to show those files. Thanks to both of you! I am surprised that CleanMyMac software didn't find it.

Yes, you can move .bitmonero to usb drive and monero gui would use it from there.
Just to be sure, here is guide on how to change blockchain path in gui.

Mmmmhhh, nope. You can read, i suppose, so please read the comment of cryptohunter again, then think again with a cup of tea and after that you are free to edit your post and apologize 

It is interesting, coinbase may have interests in adding monero? If this is true, xmr will go no.3, just ranks after btc and eth

HoneyPony's already been at #3 off-and-on in all the recent frenzy but, yeah, back at ol' reliable #5 at the moment.

Pretty certain it'll be back in place soon enough though.  Patience.

Around these parts, a lot of us hangin' around here already take #3 more-or-less as a given: we've got our eye on the Number 2 spot more in medium-term.

And -- believe it or not -- some of the crazies around here (even me sometimes LOL) seriously consider Numero Uno long-term.
