Rooted devices
I know some devices have different preinstalled apps on them. However what are the basic items that can be removed on these devices when rooted?
I tend to remove anything that's not necessary. You can disable factory apps without removing them to reduce your risk of causing any instability. Generally I'll disable/remove the different unnecessary google apps, many of the prepaid apps, and basically anything that obviously doesn't get used on a farm phone. Try to avoid anything that seems like it would be a manufacturer required service.
Hey, out of curiosity...does disabling apps create any free space or does it just not allow the app to run? Many of my phones have only like 4gb in total, and clearing bloatware might help me out (my devices aren't rooted though).I tend to remove anything that's not necessary.

What device? It really doesn't create space. I recommend rooting. When rooted you can find a lot of Google Pre Install Apps can be removed. This is easy these days becuase you can download and install various forms of Google Apps known as GAPPS. They come in the following examples.
Android 5.1.x Lollipop Gapps Variants:
Stock - Recommended for most users
Full
Mini
Micro
Nano - Recommend for legacy/older devices
Pico - Recommended for legacy/older devices
Pico(Uni)
You select based on needs and space! Give your device model and I can send you in the right direction!

Hey, Tucker! I've got a bunch of devices that I really want to try rooting, but I'm kinda scared that I'll brick them or something.What device? It really doesn't create space. I recommend rooting.

My Optimus Fuels run 4.4. My LGL2CC runs 5.0.1, but it runs a little better than most of my devices. My Moto Es (2nd Gen) run 5.1.
For my two iOS devices, my 4s runs 7.1.2, and my 4 also runs 7.1.2.
I also have two ZTE Paragons and a few Huwei Premias that run stock OS's, but I don't use them as they're slow and frustrating.
Would you recommend I try to root these guys? Also, what root application/process is safest? Thank you so much for the help, by the way c:
If you're running any Perk apps on them, DON'T ROOT! Otherwise, root! But first, check that you can unbrick them. Make sure you have like a video guide on how to unbrick each phone. I used KingRoot on my LG L Bello 2 which isn't a very famous phone, and it still worked great!Hey, Tucker!

Disabling apps does not free up space but keeps the apps from using up memory and other phone resources. It also prevents them from interfering with your farming apps. The reason I prefer disable is the fact that I've bricked a couple devices by removing incorrect factory applications. When performing a factory reset shortly after the devices soft bricked. Luckily I was able to reflash the ROM.Hey, out of curiosity...does disabling apps create any free space or does it just not allow the app to run?
