Post From: How to download LESS market depth data?

I'm trying to keep a DOM only, lean and mean, Sierra Chart installation with as little data as possible. There are no charts open whatsoever. Only 16 DOMs are up for a multitude of products.

For each DOM:
I go into [Chart Settings->Market Depth->Maximum Market Depth Data Days To Load] and set it to 1.
I go into [Chart Settings->Data Limiting->Days To Load For Intraday Chart Data Type] and set it to 1.

What other factors go into the length of time (days) market depth data is downloaded for? I recently deleted all market depth data, restarted Sierra Chart, and let it re-download what it needed. The market depth folder downloaded 3+ weeks for every product (going back to 16 Jan 2025). I thought it would only be a day or two. The installation folder is now 40+GB in size. This is the opposite of what I want. If I delete the market depth data it will always re-download itself.

Is there any other setting I'm missing? The only study I have on each DOM is the Volume Profile (Volume By Price), and there are no date parameters set within that study so I doubt that has anything to do with it.

Thank you for your time.
