Hey! I have the same issue - do you mean you actualy had to re-download the 300+ GB of data to solve the issue?

Hello, yes I did. It was quite frustrating.

I'm still running into this situation in 2024. I have some Bitcoin Core windows apps that make it clear a pruned node can run a wallet indefinitely but once on windows, when restoring a wallet, it happened, and with some recent linux cli experimentation it's been happening every few days.

<p>I have bitcoin core installed, with a sub wallet with some bitcoin on it. The default wallet appears to be working fine, but when I try to open the sub wallet with bitcoin on it, I get the error message</p>

<p>and I am unable to open it. The prune settings are the default 2GB block storage and 450MiB size of database cache. I have reindexed Bitcoin Core one time but that did not help the problem, and I still get the error message every time I attempt to open the sub wallet.</p>
