I noticed 30 gigabytes of data in the C:\SierraChart\Data\MarketDepthData directory. Is there a way to automatically delete these temporary files/data, when Sierra exits? Currently, I am deleting the files manually to conserve disk space and for backup transfer.

Those files are what give you historical market depth data. This is necessary not only while viewing a chart, but also for doing a replay.

If you do not need it for these purposes then you can remove them, but we do not have a way to remove them autoamtically.
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:

If we delete those market depth data, but then need a replay on historical data, will they be downloaded as needed?

I solved this issue by moving the MarketDepthData directory onto a 64gig flash drive. The data now writes to that flash drive, and Sierra runs perfectly.
