I have just downloaded Mist wallet on my windows 64.Initially I thought it would be a light weight wallet.But it seems downloading complete block chain.I don't have much memory on my system.If you don't mind can you tell me how much storage it occupies.How to completely delete that block chain from my system.I suspect if I delete the wallet the block chain will also be deleted? Is parity wallet is also same as mist or is light weight? Please clarify I don't have much knowledge about ETH wallets. I have used Myetherwallet it is the best one.But I downloaded Mist as a secondary wallet.Please let me know I will delete it.
