How to remove old unused apps?

There are apps such as chess, Apple TV, etc that I do not use. I would like them removed.

Apps that are installed by default are part of the system and cannot be deleted. Most of them do not require a large amount of storage.


On my Macbook Air, Chess takes up 7.3 MB and Apple TV 77 MB.Those are minor amounts on the average 250 or 512 GB storage space.


Get yourself an external hard drive and park memory hogging files such as videos on it instead of your internal storage.
