GarageBand App

When checking my storage status on my MacBook Pro, it shows under the storage management that GarageBand is using 1.83GB of storage. I don't use this app, so I wanted to remove it from my Applications folder. However, on searching Applications, the GarageBand app doesn't appear there. I have never used it, so I cannot understand how it can be occupying 1.83GB of my valuable storage.

Why does it show this app usage when the app doesn't even appear in my Applications Folder

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.13

Uninstall select Mac Apps (GarageBand,Pages,Numbers,Keynote, iMovie) Hi, I was wondering whether one can uninstall GarageBand,Pages,Numbers,Keynote, & iMovie) ? I don't use these applications and never have in 6 years of having a MacBook. My main reason is the fact that updates to these application keep popping up on the App Store even though I have these apps hidden in the App Store. I came across a 2 year old post when a user was asking specifically whether he could uninstall GarageBand and he got this response: Yes, you can uninstall it. Move the GarageBand.app from the Applications folder to the Trash. Most of the storage needed by GarageBand is occupied by the Instrument Library, also by the Apple Loops. These items are shared with Logic Pro or MainStage however. Are you using one of these applications? Then keep the instruments and loops installed. If not, you can also remove the folder /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/ from the /Library folder to uninstall the sound library, and the folder /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/ Some of the Loops may be used by iMovie as well, so you may want to keep them installed. So, any concerns about uninstalling these applications? Thanking you... Kind regards, Antonio
