How do I uninstall TERMINAL?

I inadvertantly installed TERMINAL on my MacBook Air, Big Sur 11.6 and have no idea what it is and now I want to remove it.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks,

Terminal.app is part of macOS, and cannot be separately installed nor—like any other part of macOS—can it be easily deleted.


If you’ve added it to the Dock, control-click on the icon in the Dock and select the option to remove the app from the dock.
