I use my music, so I doubt I will remove it. It is mainly the VZ apps I want to remove, and the amazon garbage, and probably some other stuff.

The benefit of rooting a D1? So many benefits and so many good custom roms. Oh how I miss cm7 and MIUI.

No need to remove them they aren't big files or anything. Just freeze them. And ota is over the air up dates.

So what exactly is the benefit to rooting a phone then?

The benefits of rooting are endless but you have to way risk rewards. Those new to rooting SHOULD freeze the bloatware until you understand what to remove and what to leave. Infact I prefer freezing instead of removing it. Its not taking up any real space. The reason why we remove bloatware is because they are unneccasary apps that are running. Some of those apps you later learn may be needed or wanted. If you remove them they are more trouble to restore them... most of the time you end up having to sbf again just to restore it. Or atleast root and make a nandroid backup FIRST then remove bloatware.
