It's not going to get much smaller; and 16mb is tiny these days.
You do not need to be concerned about the idx file, you don't
need to send it. And deleting accounts will never have any
effect on the qph file; that contains only your investment price
history. If you're not sending any investment accounts, you can
leave that file out too. (You could leave it out anyway, if it
does not contain any prices that can't be recovered by an
historical price download.)
