Yesterday I was getting a message that I was running out of disk space. This morning I shut down my computer and rebooted and now Sierra Chart connects but does not update charts. No live data is flowing. I would appreciate your support thank you!

I just found out that the symbols have changed. My charts have been working correctly for a month with ESM20_FUT_CME and now that symbol for live data is ESM20. I have not made any changes to my data feed I should still be on Denali. Do you know what happened?

I have also found that my time zone settings have changed and when I tried to switch back to Chicago time it says the config file size is much smaller than the expected and it might be corrupt.

I found that I need to free up space on my computer. I will do that and report back!

Do you have any recommendations on how to run SC without needing as much storage space?
