In order to suppress SC from automatically updating intraday files and getting the message below, is it enough to disconnect SC from the data feed or is there some other step that is necessary?

Hi,
I have a similar question; I would like to avoid using SC Intraday data and use exclusively data from my broker IB; I have done the following;
1) Unticked - Global Settings >> Allow Support for SC Data Feeds
2) Changed in the IB Service settings the "Maximum Historical Intraday days to 2000"
3) Unticked - Global Settings >> Connect on Program Startup
4) Unticked - Global Settings >> Reconnect on Failure

With these settings when I "delete all data and Download" say 200-days of data, it seems that SC is still using SC servers to download Intraday Data not available from IB (which I think is limited to 30-days of Intraday Data), is there a way to stop this altogether as I would like my data going forward to be from IB only.
