Root Possibly found a way to remove KNOX without root. (G900V)

When I was messing around with APKs, i found out that I could extract the apk to KNOX and look around in it.
After messing around, i decided to open it in an editor using APK Editor Pro (I think the free version would work just as nicely), after I edited the version by 1, i decided to see what would happen if I tried to install it.
Naturally, it wouldn't update it. But I then tried clicking the 'Uninstall' button, It actually gave me a prompt to remove it.
I didn't click it because I did not want to brick my device, but as I was wondering, if you could successfully remove KNOX, could that make it easier to find a root method?
