What directory are they in?

If this is in .lotus/datastore/chain, this is chain data, and removing them will break your node.

There is a way to reduce the size of this directory - follow the steps in https://docs.filecoin.io/get-started/lotus/chain/#compacting-the-chain-data

(If this isn't .lotus/datastore/chain, then it depends on exactly what directory you're talking about)
