What do you mean by "adjusts it"?

To get the data for a futures symbol into a single chart going back through multiple contracts, you need to use the "Continuous Futures Contract" option. Refer to the following:
Continuous Futures Contract Charts

If you think you may have messed with the data and want to undo whatever was done, then select "Edit >> Delete All Data and Download". If you have the Continuous Futures Contract setup for that chart, then you will be asked which contracts you want to redownload; otherwise, it will delete all the data for the contract you have loaded and redownload it.

How can i select that like i need data to be downloaded from 2019 onwards....

Do i need to first put the number in Days to Load for Intraday Charts and than Edit >> Delete All Data and Download ?

Suppose i have workings , analysis done on that chart... will those stay when the data is re-downloaded again?

Is this for Futures data or for Equites? What is one symbol for which you are wanting to do this?
