Hi
This is a great article from Kevin Holman on the data warehouse on what is stored there and how to go about grooming data out:
There is another thread here that might help:

Hello,
There are reports helpful in this scenario:
1st report: Reporting >> Microsoft Data Warehouse Reports >> Data Warehouse Properties
This report will show you data volume per data set (Performance / State / Alerts / Events)
2nd report: Reporting >> System Center Core Monitoring Reports >> Data Volume by Management Pack
This report will show you the Data Volume by MP utilization, so you can identify which management packs are consuming space and by drill in the report you can identify the noisy servers/objects/instances which are causing huge amount of DW data..
Hope it helps..
Regards,
Mazen Ahmed

Hi
My company has also deploy SCOM solution with ~300 servers for more than 2 yeras. The datawarehouse size is appro. 150GB.
- check how much unallocated space of datafile by using following tsql statement(exec sp_spaceused)
- If unallocated space is less than 10%, you may use dwdatarp.exe to view retention setting and size of DW.
- download the tool from http://blogs.technet.com/b/momteam/archive/2008/05/14/data-warehouse-data-retention-policy-dwdatarp-exe.aspx
- command to view retention setting and size of dw : dwdatarp.exe -s servername -d OperationsManagerDW
3. use dwdatarp.exe to modify the retention setting
- For detail, pls. refer to the blog: http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2010/01/05/understanding-and-modifying-data-warehouse-retention-and-grooming.aspx

FYI this tool doesn't "really" work for OM12... In OM12 we have additional tables that you can assign a retention policy that the SCOM 2007 version of this tool will not pickup or report on, APM for instance.
