How much space did it increase by? If it was only a small amount then that is just the size of the Wordpress engine and theres not a lot you can do about that. If it doubled then you have installed 2 copies. Did you choose to install Wordpress to a different folder or something? If you did then just delete the version you are no longer using. Just remember to always take a backup, just in case!

If you make a backup of your hosting to your own computer (there's a button for this in cPanel) then delete the backup on your hosting account and see what happens. If it wrecks the whole thing then just upload your backup from your PC. Deleting the backup should have no effect on the Wordpress install as long as you know what you are doing.
