You are constantly downloading new data, so the amount of space that is taken up by Sierra Chart is going to grow. This is normal, and can not be avoided.

Refer to the following for how to clear out old symbols and remove the files associated with them to clear up space:
Chart Data and Chart Data Files: Cleaning Up Old and Unused Symbols for Efficiency

This is also part of the reason why we recomennd installing Sierra Chart on its own SSD drive. Refer to the following:
High CPU Usage | Inactive User Interface | Poor Performance | Long Time to Load Chart Data | Charts Reloading Often: 30.29 - Solid State Drives / SSD
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
