If you mean pack files in .git/objects/pack/ then yes there will be damage. These files are essential parts of the git object database. Please do not mess with files in .git/objects/.

If the pack files are too large you need to edit history to remove large files and repack. See these questions and answers: Remove large .pack file created by git, Large pack file git not solved.
