How can I reinstall the voice memos app on my Macbook Pro?

Hello everyone,


I recently decided to transfer all my voice memos from my laptop to my external hard drive and deleted all of them. As soon as I did this, my voice memos app stopped working properly. When I try to open it, it no longer responds and I have to force quit every time. I tried to find a way to uninstall this app by dragging it from my Applications folder to my Trash folder but for some reason, the trash can won't accept it. When I right click the icon, there's no "Move to Trash" option for me to select. If I can't uninstall and reinstall this voice memos app, what can I do to fix this problem?


Please help. Thanks!

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.15

Either reapply the combo update on top of your existing macOS

Combo update macOS 10.15.4 https://support.apple.com/kb/DL2037?locale=en_US


or


Refresh the entire macOS by reinstalling on top of your existing macOS from Recovery

This will refresh the applicatiom.


There is no stand alone voice recording app independent of the macOS itself.
