[Verizon] Game has system rights and now I can't delete it...

Alright. So I have no idea how this happened but I downloaded a game called Swords and Soldiers and without realizing it gave it System Rights... Now I am unable to delete it through the Settings>Apps and I have tried using SD Maid Pro but that is unable to find the file. Can anyone hopefully help me figure out how to get rid of this please? And yes I am fully expecting "what a newb" responses =-D
 
Find the game within the list of apps, I think you long press and it gives you the option to unistall, delete, etc.

Negative on the long-press option of it. Doesn't give me any options. And when I click the app to go to the uninstall/clear data/etc menu everything is greyed out and I am unable to click on ANY of the options.
 
Very strange, it allows me to un install system apps.

what if you foreclose the app, clear cache and data, reboot and then try to uninstall? I know I'm thinking like a Windows pc but might be worth a shot.
 
Wipe...reload ROM/gapps and use TB to restore everything except the game you want deleted. Disclaimer...I have no idea what I am talking but this is what I would have tried.
 
Tibu should work as mentioned, just press on the app in question. Otherwise Root Explorer in r/w mode. Navigate to /system/app and delete it. Reboot.
 
Well I can't force close it or wipe it since all those options are greyed out. And Titanium works but this game doesn't show up in the list at all, yet it shows up in the Settings>Apps list. Very confusing.
 
Ok don't know what I did but the second time I went into TI to try and delete it the app showed up so thank you all for the help and advice!
