HUD doesn't display history data

[Cebu2012]

I installed PT4 2 days ago and it appeared to go fine. I imported my hand history from 888 & PokerStars which shows 3,932 hands for me in the View Stats/Statistics window. When I bring up PT4 fresh and launch 888 & PokerStars from PT4 I am not getting what I expect on the HUD. It is only displaying the data for the hands I am playing that session. I can't find the magic switch to have my and my opponent's historic data populate the HUD. Since they show up in the View Stats window I know it hasn't been lost but I can't get them to show in my HUD.

I read somewhere that once you import your hand history from 888 etc, that PT4 reads them in and moves them so they are not read in twice. Looking in the Hand History directories in 888 & PokerStars, they are gone. Where does it put them? Do I need to delete them occasionally to save disk space?

Your opponents historic data should display by default however PokerTracker 4 is designed to only show your session stats in the HUD at each table. As your own number of hands increases your lifetime stats don't change much if at all between hands but your image at each individual table may vary considerably depending on the cards you've been dealt or your opponents. If you want to see your lifetime stats for analysis purposes you can do so in your PokerTracker 4 reports or load up a hand (any hand) in the replayer and turn that option on via the 'Options' button.

The hand history files provided by your poker sites don't take up much space but PokerTracker 4 moves them to your 'Processed' folder for performance reasons:
