First the data is compressed and does not take that amount of space. The amount of data is actually about 1/3 of what you are saying. You need to look at the actual size on disk. Not the size of the files.

Start by following the information here:
Chart Data and Chart Data Files: Cleaning Up Old and Unused Symbols for Efficiency

Then go to this section for how to delete the files that you are no longer using:
Chart Data and Chart Data Files: Deleting a Chart Data File

You can also compress the data further:
