you need a file manager that allows you to read and write onto the system. be careful if you do this. do you have a custom recovery?
I am using root file explorer by jrummy, i dont have a custom recovery because bootloader is locked. on 6.+ above I can unlock the bootloader but xperia companion showed i have a latest software installed in my device.

ok well there you go....just use the file manager to locate what you want. just be very careful because some system files when deleted could have adverse effects on your phone. it could cause certain apps to not work and then you are screwed. i would instead look into getting Titanium Backup and just freeze things. this way you will know if certain system apps when frozen will have any effects on your phone or not....then you can delete it.

here is a guide on tb:
