That lets you stream content to your Apple TV or re-download it to your iOS devices or iTunes on your Mac whenever you want. You can either transfer them up to an external drive for safe keeping or, if you're not adverse to it, simply trust in Apple's iCloud service.

iOS game files can be 1-2GB as well in some cases. A single HD TV show can take up 1GB or more (that can be 10-20+GB a season!). Large videos like movies, multiple smaller videos like TV shows or home movies, or even massive amounts of tiny files like music and apps can all add up. The most common offenders when it comes to eating up storage space are media files.
