In my copy, the scouting.dat was 1kb, after 1 year, with scouts turned off, so you were correct there.
Yes, anything in the html -> leagues, teams, players, game logs and history folders can be deleted. These files are created by the game, when you view them in the game. So if you go to Team 2's home page in the game, it will create a team_2.html file in the teams folder. If you look at standings in the game, it will create a standings.html file in the leagues folder, etc etc.
It's important to differentiate the html\game logs and txt\game logs folders though. You can delete html\game logs but if you delete txt\game logs, you will lose all your game logs. Same goes for html\box scores.
Personally, I'm going to save a copy of the game logs and box scores for use in the online reports, but delete them from the league file I distribute to owners. They won't be viewable in the game, but it's a trade off I'm willing to make to cut down on the download size.
