Static resource size exceeds 5 MB

I download the current version of the jQuery Mobile JavaScript library, Zip File: jquery.mobile-1.4.5.zip
The size of this zipped file is 7.54 MB. 
Unable to add this as  a static resource because size exceeds the 5MB limit. 
Any suggestions as to what others do ? Thanks!

The  jQuery Mobile zip folder will contains some demo fiels also. We don't need that file while refering the static resource in the visualforce page. You can delete the 'demo' folder in the Zip and recreate the zip and upload into the salesforce. When you remove demo folder then size will coe around 3GB. Hope this reolves your issue

You can create or update static resources to a maximum size of 5 MB. An organization can have up to 250 MB of static resources, total.

@karanraj, Thanks!! It was the best and simplest suggestion, and it worked for me, as @Rov Alm said it drastically reduced memory to ~750KB
