I just thought of another tip to conserve storage space so I took a series of screenshots to share. I've disabled all the built-in Google apps that I will never use. This doesn't save space in itself, but what it does do is prevent these apps from updating and growing in size over time. In my case, I never use Google talk, magazines, books, YouTube, the live wallpaper picker, and many more pre-installed apps. I also don't use Gmail because I use the regular email client and add my yahoo mail and Gmail to it. Here are a series of screenshots on how to do this. Don't worry about the warning that if you disable a built-in app, other apps may not work right. If this does happen, you could always simply re-enable them. So far I have had no problems.
First on the home screen, touch the menu and select manage apps:
Then select all on the upper right side of this screen:
In this example I selected Google hangouts (formally Google Talk) First press clear data, then press uninstall updates.
Here is what you will see next. Don't worry, everything done here can be undone if you decide you want it back. Just press OK.
Then comes this screen, press OK again.
Now it will take you back to the list apps. In this case Hangouts reverted to Talk, but in most cases the name will stay the same. Just go back to the app which you uninstalled the updates and click Disable.
Now the app will no longer run (saving RAM) and will no longer update (saving space because updates are usually bigger than the original)
I hope you find this useful
