I will share with you guys my experience with my 46 GB google services space taking of my phone storage... ( Automatic "Android Auto" screen recording issue!! for Android Auto users )

a few days ago I noticed that my space storage was filling up in an unusual way by google services app it takes about 46 GB my phone storage !! and as you know you can't remove this app...
I tried many third-party apps to clean up my storage hopefully cleaning this mess and nothing worked I even tried to uninstall app updates but nothing happened at all.
so I browse my internal storage files and sort it by size to see which folder take much space, so I went through inside "Android" folder and I go to "Data" and I copied all the files to an external storage device and browsed it in my PC, I did that because system files can't be sorted in files manager app.

Finally I found an app data folder named by "com.google.android.gms" take about 40 GB!! its belong to the Android Auto app and its counted as one of google services apps, in this folder I found a something weird, I found all my trips history recorded while I am driving and Android auto app is running (Its like automatically screen recording of Android auto UI with no sound and for no reason).

So the only solution that works for me is: just go to your file manager app > Android > Data then look for "com.google.android.gms" and check if it takes much space or not and simply just delete it ^_^!!
