How do I delete the Apple TV app (and other unwanted apps) from my Mac

Use to be I could go to the applications folder and drag them to the trash or go to the launcher and click and hold then click the (x). Since I just updated my system the Apple TV app is back and neither of the 2 methods work, so now how does one delete these unwanted apps?

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

Well that is a very Microsoft / Google thing to do! Apple TV has no reason to be a “Core” app, there is no reason it’s need by the kernel to make the machine run. So if it’s not going to be easy does anyone know of a FreeBSD style CLI method to remove it?
