If you prune a node, you just deleted old copies of your verified blockchain, they will be deleted from your computer, calling a blocks that have been deleted from your computer will be unavailable except you connect your wallet with another node as an SPV.
If space is not a problem on your machine, there is no point to delete everything your node downloaded and verified. If old transactions are that precious to you, keep those file on your machine.
Another suggestion is that, if you complete initial blockchain download and you have all your wallet history verify, you can prune the node to first day your wallets had it first transaction and delete the rest of the file.

You'll need to sync the wallet before your pruned node is too far behind. You can set it up to keep many blocks, say 100 GB, so you'll still be able to use it after a year. Or you'll need to load each wallet more often.
Hi,
I am trying to determine if I could use pruning blockchain option on my future bitcoin node or not.
I will create a multiple wallets by RPC calls and I need to be able to check the history of transactions for each wallets, even if a wallet has been created 1 years ago for which the transactions blocks are no more present on the node due to pruning.
Do you know if it is possible to continue to check transactions of a generated wallet for transactions blocks who are no more kept ?
Thanks
