Besu does not provide a pruning mode and requires a full resync when your node runs out of space. Disk consumption grows by ~8GB/week.
Fortunately, Besu is able to sync in a very short time (~1.5 days) if you have at least 32GB of RAM by enabling the --Xplugin-rocksdb-high-spec-enabled

To resync, simply delete the existing Besu database and restart the service.
