    Can't remove apps with Root App Delete

    We have a new Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 running Android 7. I have it rooted, and I still can't remove apps with root app delete. Some googling lead me to something about the system partition being locked, and running commands in a terminal app. I tried mount -o rw,remount system and then it says system not in /proc/mounts

    Not sure what's going on here, just want the bloat off the tablet... evidently these protected partitions also make it impossible for things like AdAway to work, which is also a big disappointment.

    Can't remove apps with Root App Delete

    That's a good find. Thanks for looking... but it still didn't work. Total Commander said the remount was successful, but root app delete still can't freeze it. Maybe something else is going on here. I read somewhere that some devices have these things locked down at the hardware level somehow, so maybe that's the problem I'm having...
