sure is but its quite a job.

1.) Make backups and then find alle the active product images and delete the rest.

Might be wiser to renew the Shop, a fresh set up would be best. The longer a shop exists the larger is the database and most images folders.

Well... The img folder contains most of the images on the shop. I bet the big folder is actually img/p, which contains all your product images so you might not want to delete that.

The solution you can use is to:
1. archive the folder directly from the SSL and not from File Manager;
2. archive by smaller parts (img/p/1 in 1 archive, img/p/2 in another archive and so on);
3. download the images on your computer using FileZilla or other FTP manager (it would take hours, maybe days), then archive and upload the archive to the new server;
