How to remove the Home App on Mac mini (Late 2014) MacOS Monterey after upgrading Home architecture on iPhone

As the Home app no longer works on Macs that are unable to upgrade to the latest macOS rendering it a useless waste of space, I have been unable to locate support information on how to safely uninstall it as it no longer serves any purpose.


Can someone please advise how to uninstall the Home App from my macOS Monterey (ver 12.7.3)? Thank you

Leave it alone


The Home Application occupies about 18.5 MB


I have some Keynote Files that are 15 time bigger than that Application


The Operating System resides in a Sealed and Read Only Volume that can not be opened by the User nor by Third Party Applications.


As the Home Application is part of the Operating System - it can not be removed or deleted




The only Entity that can open and modify or alter this Volume is Apple.
