Huge disk space occupied by /Data folder and redundant .scid files

Hi, my data folder is occupying 50 GB of space. I looked for large files and realized that several intraday data files have no associated .cht files (I never created any chartbooks with those symbols).
For example, there is an XAUUSD.scid file that is 4.5 MB in size. Another example is EURUSD.scid. I never searched for these symbols and never created this chartbook.

There are several ES related scid files, ESM20-CME.scid, ES202312-CME.scid,ESZ23_FUT_CME.scid, on and on.
Since I have two installations of the program, I am afraid of running out of disk space.

Any help in figuring out which large files are redundant will be appreciated.
Thanks
