Notes on disk usage
- Reth, Besu, Geth, Erigon, Ethrex and Nimbus continously prune
- Nethermind - DB size can be reduced when it grew too large, by [online prune](NodeTypes.md).
- All clients other than "Nethermind with HalfPath DB" continously prune state
- Nethermind - HalfPath DB state size can be reduced when it grew too large, by [online prune](NodeTypes.md).
