[Q] How to delete system apps [4.4.2]

[The_Overthinker]

Well, a very simple question, but one which is bugging me.
My phone has kitkat and is rooted.
So, how do I remove the unnecessary System apps preloaded in the firmware? Link2sd, Titanium Backup Pro, and NoBloat free are some of the apps which I've tried. They are NOT working.
I've even tried using root explorer to delete the system apps, but I kitkat is not allowing me to mount system to read-write mode. I use fx file explorer.
Any type of help would be appreciated.

that means that you are not correctly rooted
flash ftf again
dont wipe anything
and try the root tool for kitkat again

Tried it. Not working

Ps - Can it be a problem with my rooting method? Here's what I did---
-> Flash a 4.3 kernel which has recovery.
-> Boot into recovery and flash SU binary zip file.
-> Flash the original 4.4.2 kernel and boot into system.

I trierd root checker and it shows I have root access. Greenify works perfect too.

Here's a screenshot of the error link2sd shows when I try to uninstall Sketch app.
