Are you doing full backups every time? It's surprising if you get 2GB
of new files every day when doing incremental backups.

As Jens said, it should be safe to delete anything older than the most
recent full backup. Please try the patch in this collector issue:
http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1501
and add a comment there about whether you're happy with it? That adds
a new option to repozo to automate deleting old files. The chances of
that patch going in would increase if someone reports they use it and
are happy with it.
