    Default PostgreSQL taking up too much space

    I keep running out of space on drive C, and now that I checked it I see the PostgreSQL folder is taking up 17 GB.

    Is this normal?
    What can I do to decrease its size?

    This is pretty normal if you have more than some hands in your database.
    You should regularly purge mined hands in your database, after purge vacuum / full analyze the database via pgadmin.

    and you can delete all files in the postgresql subfolder data\pg_log.

    If you plan to have more hands in your database you should move the postgresql installation to a different partition:
