Try this: SMALLER Unreal Engine Installs! Recover 20+ GB - YouTube

You can uninstall some of the engine features you don’t need.

Make a new project of the same type. Migrate only the maps you want to use to that project ( it will copy all associated files ), then build from there…

If it’s still too big, then you have to find out what’s causing the problem, you can do that by looking at the new project content folder with a utility like spacesniffer

What is game packaging process(Build)?

Is Packaging process all assets and folder are include. not matter some assets is or not part of our game
Only assets that are part of our game will be include in Packaging process

The engine knows what assets are connected. When you migrate the map, only the related assets will be migrated.

Then, you can package from the new project.

This also works within your main project, of course, but you have to specifically only specify packaging of the assets you need, which is a bit more complex.
