Just a quick note for any other Sierra users that have experienced the same problem of 'no chart data/bars' due to a full hard drive, I have noticed that my sierrachart/Data folder includes the '.scid' files that are associated with each chart. Many of these are huge. When I start Sierra multiple demo charts open. I have to close these every time before opening my actual charts. To free up space I have found that if I delete these charts upon open, save and then close Sierra, then these charts no longer appear on start up. I then delete their associated '.scid' files. This frees up a massive amount of space. Word of caution, if you don't delete the demo charts that appear on open then the 'scid' file is reinstated in the data folder and they immediately start filling up again. I haven't seen this in the section 'Cleaning Up Old and Unused Symbols for Efficiency' so if it is not there it might be an idea for Sierra to add it.
