There are a few ways you decrease the size. 

The majority of storage space goes to either images or audio.

For images can either use the free app Xnconvert Photoshop or Krita to convert the image type. RPG maker supports .jpg, they require less space than .png which you only need if the image needs transparency so having the back ground images as .jpg is what I do.

You can also change the dimensions of the images, you only really need them to be the same as the resolution Xnconvert can also do this but it would be better if you used Photoshop or Krita for this.

Or you could change the compression in Photoshop or Krita while you're exporting the image.

Another method is to use WebP Converter for RPG Maker MV but the editor can't read WebP (but it can encrypt them). So this tool should be used for deployment.

As for the audio the only thing you can do is change the file type from .ogg to .opus which cost less space without decreasing the audio quality, you can use Opus Converter Tool for RPG Maker MV for that. 

Decreasing audio quality also helps to decrease space but you'll need audacity for that.

You can also use MVStripper to get rid of unused files.

Here's links to the stuff I mentioned

Be sure to check the details of each file before conversion so you know what you need to convert them into. 

That's all I've got hope all this helps.

All of this was fantastic tysm I appreciate you immeasurably. I figured out with help that part of my problem was instead of overwriting saves the game was saving within a save within a save within a save so like 6 versions of the game were in each file. I know what to look for now and have a better save plan. Now I am just trying to see if I can compress it further to get it manageable and uploadable. If there is still an issue I will go through each of these and see what I can figure out.

Thank you again so much you are an absolute treasure and I appreciate you.

Yeah I've heard of something like that happening and I can't tell why it does, any way I hope everything goes well for you as you're managing that and I wish you the best of luck in the agony that is game development and I hope the things I mentioned will be useful to you.
