How to delete an app where the right click doesn't show the delete option?

I've recently downloaded a software called Archive Utility, and I want to delete it. But somehow it appeared in the "CoreServices"->"application" folder and I can't delete it. Is there anyway? (and sorry if it is in a wrong topic)

The Archive Utility app is part of macOS. Not one that was added. As part of macOS, it cannot be deleted.

Use Spotlight search or Finder, and locate whatever app you loaded with a similar or same name, located elsewhere.
