Some state/data file info

I've been playing with the tools in db 4.8.30, and bitcoin stable... My blockchain is up to date. Bitcoin is not running.

# strings database/* This will at times yield the addresses in your wallet. So it's not exactly in compliance with 'only your wallet file matters'.

Bitcoin always leaves behind at least one "database/log.nnn" file. Shouldn't it roll and delete it on exit like it does the other state files? Particularly after a simple "we're able to do nothing but local operations" invocation like: bitcoind -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050 -keypool=0 -connect=127.0.0.1 -nodnsseed -noirc

Similarly, the ".lock" file is never deleted. Shouldn't it be upon exit?

Vacuuming addr, blkindex, and wallet with "db_dump | db_load" will save significant space. I do not yet know how to view or validate blk0001.dat.

When left with junk, I've been removing everything except: addr.dat - node addresses bitcoin.conf - config blk0001.dat - blocks blkindex.dat - index to blocks wallet.dat - wallet
