users of graphical (wallet) installations. Before, this could only be done
through manual editing of the configuration file.
The new setting allows a user to decrease the total disk space used for keeping
full blocks the node down to 3GB, by removing blocks that are no longer needed
for full incremental validation of the blockchain.
**Caveats**
