. To save hard drive space I'm wondering if from the Data/Trade Service Settings the "Max Historical Intraday Days to Download" could be changed to something much less that 186?
Yes you can but that will not immediately change the size of the data files.

You really need to use this function:

Would the Non-Tick Data and 1-Tick Data need to have the identical days?
no they do not.

I'm looking at a lot of symbols so would reducing the number of symbols reduce the data to the hard drive?
Yes. But you will have to delete any chart data files you currently have and no longer need:

Does a chartbook/workspace that is closed have data go to the hard drive?
Yes of course. A Chartbook is a file.
