download Titanium Backup from playstore:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
alows you to backup applications, remove applications, freeze applications (donation version is required to freeze i think)
you can do this with
Link2SD app. It's free & also you can freeze apps
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD
Use any ROOT File explorer
If you want to just uninstall apps, and not care to backup/freeze them, then you can also use any file explorer with Root Capabilities, like Root Explorer, Root Browser , ES File Explorer (my favorite, lovely GUI ) , since you also get the added bonus of any other file explorer (browsing files, copying, pasting etc. )
After you install, Grant superuser permissions and then go to /system/app.
Then you'll have to mount the directory as R/W. [For ES File Explorer, bring up the side menu (swipe left-to-right, click Root Explorer, click Mount R/W, and select /system from the list.
Now, locate the apk of the corresponding app you want to uninstall, and just delete it!
[Yeah, I know this method is a bit complex than others, but an effective alternative]:good:
Download SystemCleanup from the play store. It tells you what system apps are safe to remove so you don't delete something you shouldn't.

Do not use the latter option. It will cause problems.
Instead use an app called "/system/app mover". Select the app and move it, reboot your phone and then go to apps. Select Smart Connect and uninstall it.

Download the app "/system/app mover" from the play store and convert it to a user app and uninstall it like that.

I used to go through a root browser and delete them. It ended up giving force closes and freezes as it couldn't locate the app for the data it has.

there is nothing urgent in this.. And busybox is already installed on our phone..
Deleting the apps with root must do the trick.. or use Titanium backup to do it !

ANYWAYS THANKS FOR ALL OF UR HELP I FIXED IT BY DELETING THE THE USELESS APPS FROM THE ROM ZIP AND FLASHING IT :victory:
The title explains it all. I'm trying to get rid of all the bloatware and other system apps I don't need on my Droid Mini (4.4 19.5.3, rooted, w/p off, BL locked) and some apps (specifically the Amazon appstore) I can't get rid of no matter what I do (it seems to be the apps in the /system/priv-app directory). I use Titanium Backup (I have the pro version), and it acts like it uninstalled it but it's still there. I use Clean Master and try to uninstall it but it fails. I use ES File Explorer (I have /system r/w mounted) and try to delete it and it says device or resource busy. Also get the device or resource busy error if I try to remove it via ADB. So I'm at a loss here.
Try to use system cleanup app from the playstore.
That app can see whats installes in priv-app.
w/p on/off isn't something i quite understand as i have only used bl unlocked maxx/mini, but what I personally do is install Root Browser, navigate to system/priv-app and rename the offending applications to app.apk.bak (example: Amazon.apk becomes Amazon.apk.bak) This way, if an update comes along I can erase the .bak and have the stock crap back. If you can't do this with your setup, i apologize, i just thought it might help, as I hate having to install an app just to do one function, and Root Browser is a great app for many things like this, not just one function.
I'm on android 6.0.
I have root.
I do not see these applications in the system directories.(app, priv-app)
Where they are located? How to remove them?
have u tried titanium backup and system app remover ..

Just go to root folder and find oem folder/app and delete those apps simple
Just install Link2SD or SystemUninstall App from playstore.
Those App only work for rooted device.
Uninstall the useless Apps. But be careful with it, don't delete system functioning App.
After uninstall completed, reboot the device.

You have to disable dm-verity, look for thread on xda there is already boot image patched with disabled dm verity.

Use system app remover
Disconnect internet
First uninstall update user app
Then uninstall system app

No problem
What we did:
Busybox installed : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer
Termux installed : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux
ES File Explorer installed : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
Open ES File Explorer, open Root Explorer on left side menu.
Open Termux, write "su", give root permission.
Write this "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable"
Write this "busybox mount -o remount,rw /system"
Open ES File Explorer, delete this folder "system/app/com.spotify.."
Reboot and done :fingers-crossed:

While the Termux told me it didn't find busybox and that didn't really seem to do much, I still did everything like this and it worked
