By default, full nodes are configured to store all the blocks but only the most recent 256 states. They discard states older than that  with the exception of the genesis block  to prevent the full node from consuming too much disk space.
By default, full nodes are configured to store all the blocks but only the most recent 256 states. They discard states older than thatwith the exception of the genesis blockto prevent the full node from consuming too much disk space.
You can configure the number of blocks a full node retains (see `--state-pruning` and `--blocks-pruning` options).

Although older states are discarded, full nodes retain all the blocks from genesis to the head, allowing them to rebuild all the intermediate states.
