How do I delete Apple's apps from my computer (Reminders, Apple Music, Maps, etc.)?

I cannot delete apps such as reminders, messages, maps, and other Apple created apps from my computer. They are constantly asking me for a password for my email account and I can't do anything about it. I am SO ANNOYED that I just want them off of my computer entirely.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6

As dialabrain said, you can't delete them, but no, there is also no reason why they would ask you for your password.

If you don't use them, make sure that they are unchecked in Internet Accounts.

Go to System Preferences->Internet Accounts, select your account (iCloud, Google or whatever) and uncheck Reminders, Stocks, etc.

FWIW, there is no place to uncheck them in Internet Accounts.


Sorry?!!!


I am talking about this; there are also other options further down, not shown in the screenshots like Stocks and Home.

This is from my iCloud account, but similar options exist for Google or Exchange accounts.
