I have a 3 year old Samsung phone that is getting low on memory. I delete factory app (such as Music) updates which gives me more than enough memory.
Problem is the bloody thing keeps reinstalling them without my permission.
How do I stop this happening?
Thanks.

If you're low on memory to the point where you're scavenging from factory apps then it's because you either have accumulated userdata such as photos, videos, or messages; or; you're installing apps and games.

Either clean up userdata and apps and stop installing more apps and games; or; get a bigger memory card and shift the userdata and apps to the card; or; buy a new phone with more than enough memory.

go into the play store - in the menu top left choose my apps and games - from there you can disable automatic updates. You will have to update them all manually though so make sure you keep the ones you use up to date at a minimum... usual disclaimer about security issues etc
