How to remove unwanted system applications in Andriod on Samsung Tab 4 T231?

Question

Several apps come preloaded on the tablet and I want to trash them. What's the way out?

You must have root permissions to remove systems apps. Is you device rooted? — Lucky, Jun 25 '15 at 08:21
Easiest way is to download Root Checker from the playstore. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en
Edit. Also not all preloaded apps are "system" apps. Some of the preloaded apps can be removed without root. — jer3my, Jun 25 '15 at 08:23

To uninstall apps. Open Settings and find the Application Manager and select the app you want to uninstall. Then you will see the option to uninstall it. If you only see disable, that means it's a system app and will require root to remove.

What does "to root a phone" mean?

I've rooted my phone. Now what? What do I gain from rooting?

WARNING: Removing system apps can impact your system. Certain apps need each other to function.

I checked w.r.t Dropbox. There is an option of "Uninstall updates", "disable", "force stop". nothing more than that. – Aquarius_Girl Jun 25 '15 at 08:25
That means Samsung labels that as a system app. Which will require root to remove. You can always disable it to hide it from the app drawer. – jer3my Jun 25 '15 at 08:28
