Default [Q] Removing Sprint bloat?
I want to manually delete the sprint bloat, yes I'm rooted and using root explorer. What folder is the bloat in, I can't seem to find it? Thanks.

You can remove everything but sprint zone, id, and wallet without root. And those don't use any space or resources.

I did remove sprint zone, but backed it up first. I still am able to call *2 to connect to sprint.
