mysqldump and import to de-fragment tables

Hi there,
I am pretty new to sql but not sys admining. We recently took on a service that has large innodb tables within its DB. ie. 250G tables which store files, jpegs, videos etc. (I imagine this is already bad practice).
My query to the knowledgable out there is this:

1. There is a master and a slave set up
2. I would like to mysqldump and re-import the whole DB to free up any available space.

What is the best way to go about this?
Should i start with the slave and then make that the master after the re-import?
Once I have done the mysqldump do i need to drop the full DB and re-import?
Am I way off?!

Thanks
Kev
