$INSTANCE_HOME/var/Data.fs is your Zope object database. Don't purge it, whatever you do! Pack the Database in Zope's Control_Panel/Database to get rid of stale revisions of transactions since past. This should be a regular occurance for you (i.e. have a rule for doing this, like: pack the database to remove previous revisions of objects over 3 days old). 200M is really not that large comparitively. If you pack it, though, you are quite likely to see a big improvement.

Two questions: 1. What does it contain? 2. Can it be purged/compacted?
