Can Automator be deleted/uninstalled from MacAir running Catalina iOS?

My MacBook Air currently runs on Catalina, but I cannot upgrade the iOS to BigSur due to lack of storage/space. I am in the process of deleting emails (big PIA!) & eliminating unused applications. I came upon the Automator App (1 installed in 2019 & another in 2020). After looking over it carefully, I have no reason to use it. Can it be deleted/uninstalled without causing unforeseen problems with other apps or operations? Thank you in advance...

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

Thank you!! VikingOSX ~ you helped me tremendously with that short answer, which I did NOT find in Apple's Support for MacBook Air. I seldom have any Downloads nor Music & Books so those were empty. I'm working on clearing out Email & Photos, both of which are big files, so they take hours & hours. I was hoping to cut that short by eliminating OS applications I don't use, like Automator. Thank YOU again!!
