Will Telltale ever let us delete the first episodes and just keep the save data?
I'm running out of space on my iPad, because we can't just keep our save data unless we keep the first episode of each game installed. Each one is around 1GB, though.

For newer games that support Cloud Saving, such as Minecraft, Michonne, or Batman, you can delete your app and keep your save file in the Cloud as long as you logged onto your Telltale account and activated Cloud Saving. I think that Game of Thrones and Tales from the Borderlands may possibly support an earlier version of Cloud Saving limited to PC, but I am not sure. I would ask Telltale Support about that. But, for everything released from the end of 2015, you should be fine.
Once New Frontier Episode 1 is released, Telltale have hinted that they have a save system that will also support the Cloud. I imagine that once you get your New Frontier save file set up, your info will be in the Cloud and I assume that you will no longer have to hold onto older Walking Dead games - but I would wait until Telltale officially comments more on their New Frontier save system before doing anything.
Unfortunately, that doesn't really help. Michonne is done with, and it's unlikely there will be more, so I'd already deleted that one. I don't have the room to even download Batman. As for Minecraft, they might just add more episodes to it like they've already done.@_@ That would mean I'd eventually just have to download the whole thing again. I'm more concerned with Tales and GoT.
Minecraft should not have any more additional episodes released, so I think you are fine there. As for Tales and Thrones, I am not sure if those two titles have Cloud Support through Telltale, but they might through Apple's Cloud Support? I don't know, I'd recommend asking Telltale Support for input.
Also, I wanted to include this link in my first post but I forgot to; it's an official FAQ from Telltale Support about the Cloud Save system if that answers any more of your questions. This specific FAQ is from Batman's page, but the same answers also apply to Minecraft and Michonne - and I imagine future titles as well.
