Root Apps safe to remove

I downloaded the recovery...made a backup incase of bootloop or semi-brick....deleted all metro apps...Google apps besides play store of course (lost data connectivity but got it working by clearing cache and dalvik in recovery)...and well when I get a chance to get on a computer I'll also list a few things I froze or deleted without an issue...

I removed without a problem.

Talk back.
Google Maps.
Google Chromes.
Google Voice.
Google Movies.
Google Magazines.
Email.
Gmail (replaced with Cloud Magic which opens Gmail , yahoo and hotmail and any other app for way less space).
I killed all the Metro Apps except My Metro.

Froze.
Music (Looking for an alternative that takes up less space.)


Kept.
Metro Web (it's the lightest web browser I can find)
Playstore.
Youtube.


Any other apps to murder anyone?

I just need to crack my sdcard and make it app friendly. The phone is a nice fast phone with a clear screen and nice camera. It made me take on the project of customizing my phone.
