### Sync problems ### Sync problems
If you’re experiencing sync problems, we recommend running `make clean-prater` to delete the database and restart your sync (make sure you’ve updated to the latest `master` first though).

> **Warning**: `make clean-prater` will erase all of your syncing progress so far, so it should only be used as a last resort -- if your client gets stuck for a long time (because it's unable to find the right chain and/or stay with the same head value) and a normal restart doesn't improve things. > **Warning**: `make clean-prater` will erase all of your syncing progress so far, so it should only be used as a last resort -- if your client gets stuck for a long time (because it's unable to find the right chain and/or stay with the same head value) and a normal restart doesn't improve things.
### Running out of storage
If you're running out of storage, you can [prune](https://blog.ethereum.org/2015/06/26/state-tree-pruning/) the database of unnecessary blocks and states by running:
```
make ncli_db
build/ncli_db pruneDatabase --db=build/data/shared_prater_0/db --verbose=true
```
This will create `nbc_pruned.sqlite3` files in `build/data/shared_prater_0/db`, which you can use in place of the orginal `nbc.sqlite3` files. We recommend you hold onto the originals until you've verified that your validator is behaving as expected with the pruned files.
Options:
- `--keepOldStates` (boolean): Keep pre-finalisation states; defaults to `true`.
- `--verbose` (boolean): Print a more verbose output to the console; defaults to `false`.
