How to remove applications Chess, iBook and GarageBand instruments and music from MacBook Air running High Sierra (Garageband application is already gone from Applications folder, but the instruments and music is sucking up MBs)?
MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.13
Go to you HD/Library/Application Support folder and move the Garageband folder to the Trash bin. You'll be asked for your Admin password:
iBook can be deleted but you'll have to provide your Admin password when you drag it to the Trash bin.
However, Chess is part of the system (and only 8 MB in size) and can't be deleted.

Thank you Toad Hall. I was able to remove the GarageBand folder by dragging it to Trash.
I was unable to do the same with iBook receiving the alert '"iBooks" can't be modified or deleted because it's required by macOS'. Also tried AppCleaner v3.5 but it would only trash the tiny com.apple.iBooksX.help*1 folder and doc. Thoughts?
For garageBand you may want to delete also the loops. You will find them in the folder
/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/
On my Mac the loops are using more storage than the application support for GarageBand.
You cannot delete applications that are installed as a part of the system. They are protected by the system integrity protection.
The iBook app I have and was able to delete is called iBook Author.app. It was deletable.
Thank you.
