Your options as I see it are ;
1- Remove unneeded sites and WordPress plugins/themes. You might try removing plugins/themes via WP vs FTP your hosting provider's file manager. Not sure if the results will vary.
2-Change some sites to be static files instead of WordPress sites. WordPress has a lot of files…
3-Move sites to a different hosting account ( VPS ) . This is going to be the only option that gives you a great amount of flexibility.

Some hosts don't use directory/file watching but adds to your inode counter when you upload files, try zipping your ftp uploads into a single archive and use the SSH shell to unzip them into the target directory.

Thanks for the Reply But i am trying to convert no. of Individual files to few files by combining it. so that no. of files reduces.

Okay, well if Elementor is your main page builder then https://babia.to/resources/toolkit-for-elementor.8405/ is your best bet. For all other use cases, go with https://babia.to/resources/wp-rocket-best-caching-plugin-for-wp.318/ .

Both of them have a minify and combine feature that would give you the desired "webpack" effect.

That combines files 'on-the-fly', it does not reduce the files on the server, so the inode count is still the same.
I wonder why OP wants to reduce files, a normal WordPress install doesn't have an exorbitant number of files.

Do you happen to have a large number of images and if so, maybe a huge amount of image file sizes? If so, try to reduce the file sizes automatically created.

Sometimes caching leaves behind too many files, although good caching plug-ins have an automated 'housekeeping' feature.

Yes Images are too many but its size is not more of a concern as there is inodes limited which leads to control of uploading files as they create various sizes thumbnails too
