Apps Is it safe to remove Google+ from my phone?

[lovemuffin]

Not sure if there's a master post anywhere, but I want to remove basically all pre-installed Google crap, except for Gmail. So that would include: Google+, Talk, Books, Music, Movies. Google has been integrating Google+ with everything and I do not use Google+ at all, but I want to be sure this is safe for using other apps.

If there is a master list of pre-installed APKs etc. that are safe to remove somewhere, that would be very helpful. I really want have my phone running lean and fast! Thanks!

edit: My phone is rooted!

Most preinstalled apps are system apps and cannot be uninstalled unless rooted.

You need root to remove them. I saw that there are some tools to remove all bloatware . Better to check on xda. What's your phone model?

I should've been clear, I have rooted my phone. I just want to know if what is not safe to remove.

All apps are entirely independent of each other, although they CAN work together. It is perfectly fine to remove any app on the phone w/o affecting another app. Even removing, say, the phone app wouldn't cause issues other than you wouldn't be able to make phone calls.
