Answer
That file_list data can be safely wiped out. We store it basically like we store metadata -- it has ZERO meaning to the player itself.
Additionally we would suggest you stop the parsing (thus saving) of that file data by putting this override in your integration class:
public override bool IsManifestFileParsingEnabled()
{
return false;
}
That will stop any new data from being inserted to that column in the future.
