You can always exit from Sierra Chart and delete all the CL*.scid files. When you start Sierra Chart again and open a CL chart it will redownload all the necessary data for that symbol again. It may take a few minutes to redownload the historical data, so give it time to complete if you do this.

But, we do not know why it is creating these files. The only thing we can think is that maybe you have a Forward Curve either as the study or one of the options in Chart >> Chart Settings >> Advanced Settings >> Continuous Contract.

Please remove any Forward Curve studies, or make sure that they are not set for that many years in the future. And make sure the Continuous Contract is not set to either of the Forward Curve options for your CL charts.

Refer to the information here for the Continuous Contract setting:
Chart Settings: Continuous Contract (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol menu)
