First before starting new back test, make sure the existing data is cleared. You can tell by looking at the query count:

There potentially would be issues, having both operations going on at the same time.

How long this takes, is dependent on your system hardware ( CPU and storage system):
2. When a subsequent backtest is started, SC begins deleting the prior TradeActivityLogs files one by one, taking between 0.5 and 1 second each.

This cannot be done:
rather than it deleting them all at once.
These files hold data for different symbols.

Go into the Backups subfolder in the Sierra Chart installation folder and clear the files from there. There probably are a lot of them.
