Root Email App - Can't clear data

[armymartinez]

Hey, I'm using the "built in" email app "version 4.4.4-eng.phenomx4.20141222132842" in SlimKat ROM.

It went bonkers on me and forgot my credentials (Outlook, if you must know), but it's eating 99.33MB of memory and the "Clear data" button is disabled. "Force stop" and "Disable" are also disabled. I can clear cache.

Any ideas on how I can reclaim this memory?

Edit: I went to /data/data/com.android.email and deleted a few massive things. I've switched (for now) to "Nine" for email, so this may be good enough.

It's actually pretty amazing. I went ahead and just cleared that directory completely, stopped using Email (although maybe at some point I will again) and wound up with 100+MB of more free memory. I was pretty handcuffed before. The powers of root.

So far, Nine (recommended by a coworker) seems pretty great. We'll see about how much memory that thing saps.
