Help Insufficient Storage

A while back I bought a Huawei Ascend Plus H881C from Straight Talk. It came with a lot of built-in apps that I didn't care for and never use. It's a great phone, but I can't have very many apps downloaded on it. Sometimes when I get a new update on an app, it won't let me upgrade it because of insufficient storage. I even uninstalled a few apps and that message is still popping up. I just installed AppMgr III (App 2 SD) which let me move apps to sd card and disable built-in apps I don't use. Even after doing all that, I tried to upgrade this certain app again and it still says insufficient memory. I even took out sd card, restarted phone, reinserted sd card and it still doesn't work. Does anyone know how to fix this?
 
1) Moving an app to SD (assuming that particular app will run from SD) still leaves some internal storage used (a link to the app).

2) Most phones sold by Straight Talk are "beginner's phones", they don't have a lot of storage, and are meant to be used as talk/text/web browser phones. If you want a mobile computer that can make phone calls (that's how I think of mine), graduate to a phone with a lot more internal storage. (I consider 32GB internal to be about the smallest usable today - and that will go up in a year or two. We don't still use 10MB hard drives, do we?)
 
Well, my phone says it has 630MB Internal. I basically had to downgrade Chrome to the factory version to clear up space for other apps. I didn't really mind doing that since I hardly used it.
