You could recover 1.5G by off loading Original_EPUB. (click the format in the tag browser: select all:rightclick Delete: remove specific format:<select>

IMHO these can usually go after you have created you FINAL clean EPUB (or AZW3)
as always YMMV

Your EPUB must have lots of (big) embedded graphics or embedded fonts to hit 36G with 7K books

This seems odd. note the file count

Code:

*.json 7,748 files, 29.4KiB   <I only have ONE
*.kepub 7,748 files, 2.3MiB
*.kfx 7,748 files, 2.0MiB
