So, I have the Huawei Ascend G300 from Vodafone with its stock Vodafone Apps.

I managed to root my device, i found the superuser apk in the default huawei launcher but i cant see it in lightning launcher but thats OK, root is awesome but i still dunno what app to delete

I use Link2SD for management [moving/linking/deleting etc] of any type of apps

Tried to delete with Link2SD but said it failed to delete the apps.

With Titanium Backup PRO it says that the apk file couldnt be located and deleted

these vodafone stock apps are located in data/dataapp/...

but idk xD

Hmm, if you just want to remove the apps and a. you know where the apps are and their names b. you have shell access via some terminal emulator with su, you can just delete them or rename them so you can restore it if you break something directly from the commandline. Example:

cd /data/dataapp

mv somehuaweiapp.apk somehuaweiapp.apk.bak
If you're deleting apps in /system/app you'll need to set /system to read-write
mount -o remount,rw /system

If you're not sure what you're doing make sure you do a nandroid backup before fiddling

Okay, thank you, I will try it out and report back if everything went OK.

rm failed for /data/dataapp/appselect.apk, No such file or directory

Almost none of the apks I've seen is all lower case, appselect.apk would probably be AppSelect.apk. Everything you do is case sensitive.
