you may want to give a bit more detail about bitcoin client (wallet), operating system, versions etc, so we can follow, what you are asking here...

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-07-26)

Where is stored a full data set of bitcoin blockchain?

Is `../blocks/` dir contains a full data for blockchain work?

I know that `../chainstate/` and other files truly contains service information, include hashes, UTXO data set and others. But is it true that the full information already is in `../blocks/` dir?
