I need to add extra particulars on this drawback, with the precise hype of Bitcoin there are lots of people that make unhealthy tutorials with copy and paste on the internet, and this causes plenty of confusion.

My extra clarification that I need to add to the reply is the motivation that this error occurs.

The pruning mode is the distinctive mode to retailer solely the partial information of Bitcoin blockchain, you will discover the info saved from Bitcoin core on the listing path/bitcoin/blocks by default the path/bitcoin si within the residence listing and the title of it’s .bitcoin.

If you use the -txindex you might be telling the Bitcoin core to be able to obtain any sort of question with RPC instructions. If you wish to use Bitcoin core as a traditional pockets you’ll be able to keep away from the choice -txindex.

The choices -txindex and prune=XXX are mutually unique, which means can’t keep collectively in the identical configuration, since you are telling the Bitcoin core to be prepared for any sort of question however you might be additionally telling that you don’t need that Bitcoin core retailer plenty of information on you PC. With partial information -txindex can’t work.

P.S.: Famous additionally that when you take away the choice prune=XXX, it’s good to re-scan the complete blockchain, and likewise the area on the disk required may be very massive.
