Do I just have 1 bad block in the blockchain? If so, is there an easy way to delete the most recent few blocks and re-sync just those blocks?
Can I just delete the most recent blk*.dat and rev*.dat? If I do that, are there other files that need to be updated to know what the new blockheight is in my wallet (to get it to re-sync from there)?
