I have suppressed the storage of most fields in my index, but these fields  
will still print. The documentation claims that the JSON representation is  
stored somewhere. Is there some way to get rid of this? I'm wasting nearly  
1TB on storing the content of these fields.

It's stored in the \_source field

Create a mapping for your type using the put mapping api and set  
\_source:false
