I wouldn't be surprised if the top 3 games (backgammon?, renju?, ?)
used 50% + of game file space.  If space became an issue, just
cleaning out the most common games would leave room for extensive
archives of the less common jewels.

Is *gammon worth archiving?  (no offense intended)  The renju folks
do lots of archiving on their own.
