This a self-hosted? Although, if they are in the control panel and no linking to them or anything, then it would not affect your file size.

If you're certain that you're not going to expand your app services, you can remove other unused plugins to reduce the size of your binary. However, it's something I rarely (as in never) do, because you never ever know when something could change. And its so much easier just making a quick control panel change rather than release a new binary and go through the review process again. Cheers! -- Smug Comments Nope.
