Tweaking Designer Polars
If I tweak the designer polar using the ~200 tests I've saved, do I then delete those tests?

It doesn't hurt to leave them there and you might want them again in the future.

Okay, but will you use them again to tweak the polar? Or should you only use tests that have been saved since the last tweak?

Re: Tweaking Designer Polars
Unless they have become obsolete (e.g. you changed the sails on your boat, you adjusted the calibration of your instruments, etc) these tests are valuable for future polar tweaks as they are additional data points. And the more data points you have, the more certainty you have when tweaking the polar.
