Can I actually delete the big files residing in C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\data\replication\inbox\BC6BB661A8D97FAF93D9C35239C436C5 directory

because it seems that it is stuck in the SEPM server.

since you have set replication in your environment this directory is visible. the data from other site is copied here through replication process. the data.zip and the extracted folder should keep its timestamp changing (based on replication time).

if there is no replication , then you can delete it.

If you're using replication than you need to leave it. Otherwise, you can delete it.

it will be there , the next replication replaces these files with the latest timestamp.

These files are responsible of having the other site information ( selected during replication, logs, contents, groups, policies etc) to be inserted into the DB.
