I cannot remember how I got to it but somewhere in the program there is a way to delete datafiles and clean up the database files that are not being used, so to speak. Specifically I an referring to old and not being used contract months. Unless I am wrong and need to use windows explorer and go directly into the Sierra Chart folder directory.

Delete the older *.SCID files in your Data folder. If you accidentally delete a new one that would still be needed, Sierra will download it again.

Thank you - appreciated. BTW what does the Delete All Data and Download do. Does it delete old files are just excess data that may be loaded in the chart and clean it up so to speak.

BTW what does the Delete All Data and Download do? It only deletes the data for the chart for the time period that was loaded.

By the way when reviewing the link I found out I had 60GB (uncompressed by Sierra) of Market depth files that were not needed. I deleted them. That is a large amount - at least I think so. Thank again.
