The phone app (by Google) has 700 mb of data on the phone. What is that? Call history? Contacts? Then what is in the contacts app? Is it safe to delete?

Almost all of that (excluding voicemail) is pure text data, isn't it? There's no way it should be taking up multiple hundreds of megabytes. I can't imagine voicemail audio is particularly high quality, but if you do have a load of messages then I can see it adding up.

My Phone app user data is 277MB.

Google Keep (lots of notes with offline mode) is 10.62MB.

Google Maps' offline maps for my entire local area is only 109MB.
