[Q] What files can be deleted or renamed to free up internal storage space??

---

Hi all. On a rooted Chacha and using Root Explorer, what files or apks can be safely removed in order to gain precious internal storage space and so we could load more preferred aps?

None. Don't delete files using root explorer. Use som other app to remove not needed system apps and thats all. If you remove some system files, you can brick your system or even phone.

Use titanium if you have root.

I've removed:
All Facebook apps
HTC hub
Mail
Mail widget
Live wallpaper
Streetview


HTC likes and likes widget
News
News and weather
Htc sync
Peep
Green immersion

Stocks


Several more but as I remember I'll edit this post.

I removed then put back due problems:
Music related apps, they affected ringtones and alerts.

Thanks so much for the tips. Instead of deleting those files it might also be good to move them to a folder on the external disk so in case we'd want to bring them back to system in the future. Though that may be a tedious chore to do as I cant see a multiple file select on Root Explorer while R/W is active

With titanium you can "freeze" them to test if they matter before uninstalling, also backup in case you need to re install.

Here's what I still have in my system/app
