--prune value Choose which ancient data delete from DB:
h - prune history (ChangeSets, HistoryIndices - used by historical state access, like eth_getStorageAt, eth_getBalanceAt, debug_traceTransaction, trace_block, trace_transaction, etc.)
r - prune receipts (Receipts, Logs, LogTopicIndex, LogAddressIndex - used by eth_getLogs and similar RPC methods)
t - prune transaction by it's hash index
c - prune call traces (used by trace_filter method)
Does delete data older than 90K blocks, --prune=h is shortcut for: --prune.h.older=90000.
Similarly, --prune=t is shortcut for: --prune.t.older=90000 and --prune=c is shortcut for: --prune.c.older=90000.
However, --prune=r means to prune receipts before the Beacon Chain genesis (Consensus Layer might need receipts after that).
If an item is NOT on the list - means NO pruning for this data.
