I have 2.3 GB of data tied up in my removed apps file that I can't get rid of and my system memory keeps growing even thought I've deleted all of my apps. How do i remove that?

Open Settings, device maintenance, storage and memory. Follow the steps to clean up.

If that does not work,

Which phone?
Which version of android?

Welcome to Android Central! What menu are you looking at? I suspect you're looking at the amount of mobile or wi-fi data that apps have used recently, not the device storage. The Data Usage menu will tell you how much data an app has used on 3G/4G or wi-fi, and will also group together the total data used by all recently uninstalled apps over a certain amount of time. If you wait long enough, that number should decrease as the system stops counting apps that were uninstalled a while ago. If you were to stop uninstalling any apps at all, that number would eventually drop to zero.
