I'm very sorry, i'm not very smart, why do i need a superuser app? what does it do in the process? also thank you for responding so quickly, i always appreciate help.
If you aren't very smart, you should probably not be rooting. What exactly are you trying to accomplish with rooting that you can't do otherwise?
If you're trying to disable applications, you can do that with ADB. If you're trying to delete them; know that they live in the system partition and will not free up any space.
to be honest, i'm not sure, just because i can doesn't mean that I should. I suppose I just wanted to be able to remove bloat and get a add blocker.
If you want to remove bloat, you can use this software. It doesn't require root. Just be careful to not disable important system apps otherwise you can make your tablet unusable and will have to find a way to go to recovery and factory reset.

I used it on a friend's cheap Chinese phone and it removed a lot of stuff. The phone was much better after that, but of course, be extra careful to not remove important stuff.
Good luck!
