You must have root permissions to remove systems apps. Is you device rooted?– LuckyJun 25, 2015 at 8:21

Easiest way is to download Root Checker from the playstore. play.google.com/store/apps/… Edit. Also not all preloaded apps are "system" apps. Some of the preloaded apps can be removed without root.– jer3myJun 25, 2015 at 8:23

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.

I checked w.r.t Dropbox. There is an option of "Uninstall updates", "disable", "force stop". nothing more than that. Jun 25, 2015 at 8:25

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.– jer3myJun 25, 2015 at 8:28
