"Urchin" using a fair amount of space

I have a small reseller account that I use for all of my different domains.
This is a CPANEL controlled account.

I've been trying to work out why the amount of space used by some of my domains don't seem to add-up.

My main domain has the following stats:

18MB of "web site"
5MB of "SQL Space" for forums & blog
This of course comes to 23MB

CPANEL for this domain tells me I'm using nearly 85MB of space - a difference of 62MB

Clicking on the "Disk Usage" icon within the CPANEL for this domain I find that the following two directories appear at the top of the list:

tmp/urchin - 35MB
tmp/analog - 28MB

I see that "Urchin" is some kind of web analiser program, however should it really be taking up this much space?
I notice that tmp/webalizer is using just over 3MB of space - a much more sensible amount for an analiser program.

If this is right, should my hosts be able to remove "Urchin" from my account and the domains it contains if I asked them or is it usually installed at a server level?
