Can I safely delete database.bak from wallet folder?

In order to save space. I cleaned it up and now my bitcind in freezing, but this might not be the cause.

The block files are 220GB. Why are you deleting random, small files that the software relies on?Anonymous 2019-03-19T09:07:39.790

It is not a block file. It is particular wallet fileElizaveta Olehnovich 2019-03-19T09:49:42.460

I understand, but it’s meaninglessly small compared with the total storage used.Anonymous 2019-03-19T11:28:55.833

I store around 5000 wallets (and aim for a 1000000), each wallet can weight up to 6,5mB, so it is a significant spaceElizaveta Olehnovich 2019-03-20T09:54:19.933

Why on earth are you doing that?Anonymous 2019-03-20T09:54:40.713

I develop a project with users wallet managementElizaveta Olehnovich 2019-03-20T09:55:45.483

That doesn’t require you to store a wallet for each user. Nobody else is doing this, so you’ve run into an edge case as a result- no service stores > 32GB of individual wallets.Anonymous 2019-03-20T09:56:54.527

'Nobody else is doing this' newer was an argument :) I can't manage wallet if i don't own it (if i don't have transactions history): I wouldn't even be able to get wallet balanceElizaveta Olehnovich 2019-04-12T13:09:34.060
