I can not go back to original install. Altough I backed-up everything to the other partition and deleted original /.bitcoin folder, everytime I purge bitcoin-qt and re-install it it starts with already made new /.bitcoin folder.
I cleared some space and it's ok if Bitcoin core uses more of it, but I don't know how to continue with synchronozing and not lose payment I got on previous wallet which is backed-up.
On whatever machine you installed Bitcoin core on, go to the data directory (~/.bitcoin) and replace the wallet.dat file in there with your backup wallet.dat file. Then start Bitcoin Core. That is how you import wallets into Bitcoin Core.I cleared some space and it's ok if Bitcoin core uses more of it, but I don't know how to continue with synchronozing and not lose payment I got on previous wallet which is backed-up.
Since you are already using Bitcoin Core, I recommend that you continue to use it as switching to another wallet is a hassle.

On your original install, you can enable pruning. This means that most of the blockchain will be deleted after it verifies it (already should have verified it). This reduces the disk space usage to ~2 GB.
To enable pruning, go to ~/.bitcoin and either find or make a bitcoin.conf file. Then just add

Code:
prune=550
to the file and then start Bitcoin Core. It will now be in pruning mode. December 20, 2016, 10:04:46 PM
My bitcoin core had around 2 more hours of syncronisation before I ran out of free memory on that partition. I did recieve bitcoins for adress on that wallet and I have complete backup of both wallet and whole /.bitcoin folder on other partition. On partition where was bitcoin core is Xubuntu 16.10 and on the other one where I backed-it up is Debian 8.0. I installed armory on Debian but it could not import wallet while it's synchonizing, and it could not sync because I dind't had bitcoin core installed. Which Bitcoin wallet should ( and which ones I even can ) I install and on which partition ? How can I import backup ?
