To remove root I believe you need to remove superuser.apk and the su binary, but since I never tried I can't be too sure. The safe route would be to flash a stock/custom rom.

Edit: Also backup data via recovery if the option is available before flash.
First of all, root - route. Haha. Secondly, How do I backup data via recovery mode? And thirdly, after I backup, can I just factory reset my phone?

Well from reading link connor posted, if your recovery is cwm select backup & restore then backup. After that you factory reset and then go back to backup & restore and select Advanced restore > Date of backup > Restore data. Of course if you're not using cwm recovery I might need a screenshot to know your recovery options :/

Thats what I asked for, if you can get Odin working flash a custom kernel or just use aroma fm to remove the apk from /data

I'm sorry, but I tried the aroma fm file, and it failed to install it. It said "Operation Aborted" or something like that.....I'm having trouble getting a pic of the recovery menu...I think I should just factory reset.

If that didn't work then i'm not sure what else to do, root isn't scary it's handy, next time flash cwm, backup, flash custom kernel, and use setcpu.

I used ABD (platform_tools stuff) and via command prompt I looked at the list of all my internal storage apps. I was unable to find 'cputuner.apk' however I tried to delete 'Superuser.apk'. it said something like permission denied.

Also, when I 'ls' (list) all the apps, it only shows the ones that aren't downloaded from the Market (Google Play). How do I check the Market apps? And last but not least, when I was testing the 'rm -r' (remove apps), it said permission denied (I tried on Zoompass, Self-Serve, Superuser).

Could be as they are system apps. In ABD try

Code:
SU
mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/stl5 /data
rm -r /data/app/ch.amana.android.cputuner-1.apk
mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/stl5 /data
Enter these one by one and if mount -0 remount doesn't work just try using
Code:
SU
rm -r /data/app/ch.amana.android.cputuner-1.apk

maybe I should just Factory Reset my phone? Backing up via ADB has the same outcome: "Permission Denied". I really don't want to flash my phone.

Thank you for everything, are you sure there's nothing more I could do?
