Which AT&T bloatware apps can be safely deleted on Maven z812 Lollipop Android 5.1 ?
I need to free more internal memory on my ZTE z812 Maven running Lollipop Android 5.1.
Can I delete any of the preinstalled apps (e.g. Amazon, AT&T Drive mode, AT&T Navigator, Games, etc) to free up internal memory? I am guessing that even if the answer is 'yes', I have to disable the apps first or use some 3rd party app or workaround. I am only low intermediate tech savvy, so if rooting my phone etc is necessary, I'm probably not going to be able to attempt that safely.
Thanks.

From what I understand, it won't help a bit. The internal storage is partitioned and the part designated for system apps can't be changed or used by you.
it like having 2 rooms, one you can use. No matter how empty the one room is, you can't move the wall or move in. You can install an SD card and save photos and music to that.

Seriously? Even stupid Amazon Kindle?
I have a 16GB SD card working (with 10GB available) for photos, vids, backups, and apps that can be "moved" there. But I'm suddenly down to 390MB avail on internal memory, and I've cleared app caches, downloads and rebooted.
Is there a way to download apps straight to the SD card?
There's do much bloatware that I never use. 😞

Anyone know if 6.0 is compatible with the factory setup phone (i.e. I haven't rooted or unlocked it & I wouldn't know how to)?

Your phone is not upgradeable to MM OS. 5.1 is the most current upgrade.
The Maven with 8 gigs internal isn't really for the storage driven user. Even 16 gigs isn't enough, but at least usable. Minimum internal should be 32 gigs.
