Wouldn't merely disabling the app (in system -> applications) have accomplished the same except for freeing up a couple hundred megs of storage on the system partition? Disabled apps don't have their services run.

Yes, but I also want that space. Nothing changes the fact that it really doesn't have a right to be there. :)

Also, there were other apps that I could only disable. I think YouTube might have been one of them, and I would really prefer to use NewPipe instead. So once I was rooted it was kind of like "Well, might as well delete ALL of that crap."
