The apps themselves take very little space, but if you choose to download media content, then that can add up, You can delete downloaded media content.

The TV app, the Books app, and the Podcasts app are integral part of macOS and are protected against deletion. You can remove them from the Dock, if these distract you there, but that doesn’t matter for disk space.

macOS High Sierra 10.13 doesn’t have any of these apps.

Books was new with Mojave 10.14, the TV app and Podcasts were new with Catalina 10.15.
