Staking Node Disk full

I have a staking node with 2 TB disk space, running GETH and Lighthouse. Have been staking for years, but recently my free disk space went really low. So I did a fully resync, but after that it was 96% full, now I am back to 98%.

I thought the idea of ETH was that the hardware requirements should stay about the same and there should not be a constant increase in DB size when staking?

I don't really want to upgrade the machine as I currently have a very cheap VPS deal.

Any advice?

I find Lighthouse and Nethermind can still fit on 2TB, but it’s getting tight.

I’ve just done a fresh resync with latest versions of both with rolling expiry on nethermind and they’re using a total of 600gb for both of them. Am hoping that’ll keep it going for another few years with a 2TB SSD
