The documentation states

"If you do not want to use the sub instance any longer or just want to delete all of the files for whatever reason, the entire SierraChartInstance_# subfolder in the Sierra Chart installation folder can be deleted through your operating system file manager."

Following this instruction and deleting SierraChartInstance_2, it nevertheless gets re-created the next time Sierra Chart is started.

How does one get rid of the sub-instance permanently?

It sounds like this setting is set to automatically start the sub instance:
General Settings Window: Instances to Run on Startup (Global Settings >> General Settings >> General >> New Instances)

Clear that setting. And then delete the folder.
