I have been following
https://sites.google.com/site/ghostcommander1/info#TOC-The-root-mode

To try and delete a system app. I'm running CyanogenMod 10 stable, that is android 4.1 with busybox installed using the stericson app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en

and Ghost Commander v1.43.1

When in root mode of Ghost Commander, the location is red, and there is the # at the end, but not #ro or #rw as mentioned in the above doc.

When I hit remount /system, I see the message that GC has been granted SU permissions, but nothing else happens. When I try to delete a file in /system/apps, I get the read-only file system message.

Not sure if this patch
https://sourceforge.net/p/ghostcommander/patches/1/
is related, if it would solve this, or how to apply it.

    Hello equeim,

    #ro or #rw are appended only when the current directory is /system or below.
    The mentioned path was already applied.
    Please send the logcat to ghost.sq2@gmail.com
    Thank you.

    In marshmallow, I couldn't remount either. It displays the error: "system not in /proc/mounts", however running remount in adb works fine. (mount -o rw,remount /system)
    Thanks a lot.

    could you post or send (ghost.sq2@gmail.com) a logcat please?
    Also, you could try to remount by navigating to the "mount:" list and then just tap on the "/system" mount item.
