What do I have to have on my phone and what can I get rid of?

[AC Question]

I have no storage on my LG Optimus and I can't move anything to my SD card and I can't up date anything because there is no storage. I have 2 apps....Facebook and Messenger that's it. This piece of junk can't handle anything else. What can I get rid of besides the obvious stuff without messing up my phone? Or any advice to optimize the use of this phone until I buy a new one? TIA

That's evidently a phone with very little storage to begin with. Then you added a storage hog like Facebook.

You can get rid of anything you added. (You probably can't uninstall anything that was on the phone when you got it without rooting it.)

Well, you could every once in awhile delete data and cache from FB from from the settings, in Apps> Facebook> Storage>Delete data and cache (may vary by phone) and that'll get rid of a good bit of stuff [DISCLAIMER: you'll have to re-login and ,although unlikely, may lose important things downloaded] if you're very worried then just erase cache


Oh and forgot: if you're rooted then you can use Link2SD and gain more storage, if you don't know what root is then I suggest you avoid this just in case you mess up your phone, I don't want anyone blaming for stuff.
