If you didn't enable pruning before and just enabled it, it takes some time to reclaim the space.

how much time we are talking about? my machine is quite powerful, i waited for 2 days but nothing changed? @grao1991

@dev-dantealighieri That's weird, can you let me know what is the size of each database folder?

➜  db du -h --max-depth=1
4.5T	./ledger_db
178G	./state_merkle_db
42M	./fast_sync_secondary
58M	./state_sync_db
4.7T	.

Can you double check if you enabled state merkle pruner? Also if you migrate it to new storage format it would save you some space. https://github.com/aptos-foundation/AIPs/blob/main/aips/aip-97.md
