We are now in the year 2017 and Google play still takes up a good 80% of my phone's internal memory. Even when adding an additional external memory  there is still no option to place this waste of data and space to free up my internal memory. I hypothesized that the ones behind this app only will continue to make this app larger by each update so our devices only have Google play and Google play alone. They obviously do not heed the numerous complaints of their customers. Perhaps they are the very people that do the updates of Skype as well. Adding useless features that no one really bothers with and not focusing on making the app become more functional their users at its core.
