NinjaTrader should not be used with OneDrive as you will see file access violations and other issues when OneDrive tries to sync files to the cloud. We do not recommend deleting bar cache except unless directed by a support technician for troubleshooting reasons.

If you want to remove historical data from your platform, you can do so from the Control Center's Tools > Historical Data window.
