 The archive folder is the blockchain. It's what makes you a full node. If you delete them, you essentially become a topOnly node (but you should really do that by setting "topOnly": true in the settings). If you switch to top only (or delete the archive files) you won't be helping the network as much because nodes on older blocks won't be able to sync from you  The archive folder is the blockchain.

-Data nodes in Qortal are a Qortal node with an added ‘module’ (the ‘Data Module’) installed giving that node the ability to store and host data for access by others. Initially, the only type of data storage that is be possible in Qortal, is ‘public data’. Public data is any data that is meant to be accessed by others (website, blog, social media, files for download, etc). Public data storage will utilize a few different concepts to carry out its mission successfully.+Data nodes in Qortal are a Qortal node with an added ‘module’ (the ‘Data Module’) installed giving that node the ability to store and host data for access by others.

 The first concept to implement is that the only data to be hosted on a user’s data node, is the data that the user of the node viewed or follows. A data node user who views a website or anything hosted on a data namespace will become a ‘peer’ for that data (hosting a copy of it on their data node as well). This system functions very similarly to that of the ‘torrent’ network, wherein users are ‘peers’ for data they have downloaded unless they choose to remove that data and others then download the data from them and become a peer for it once it is completed. The first concept to implement is that the only data to be hosted on a user’s data node, is the data that the user of the node viewed or follows.
