I found this list of files you can delete to make games smaller. They're mostly intro movies and language files. I'd back up these files and make sure the game runs properly before you completely remove these files.
you can deleted this:

The folders labeled "16x9" were deleted as my tv doesn't support that. Then I just guessed on the "25FPS" vs. "30FPS" for what to keep. This worked for me.

If you do delete these files, do not play the tutorials under "Madden 101". Your game will freeze/hang.

I left "pxlogo.pss" because if all pre-game logos are removed the main menu will have a glitched background for several seconds.

If we could get this list to grow, it might make a good sticky or even tutorial. What else do you have on your xbox? Do you have alot of soundtracks or movies? _________________
