I am looking for a way to remove the following applications that came installed on my 2024 Mac Book Air M3. as well as my 2020 Mac Book Air i3. I have absolutely no use for them & would therefore like the space they currently take up utilized in another manner:
Freeform
Reminders
Home
Voice Memos
Photo Booth
Image Playground
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you & have a wonderful day.

Sorry, those apps are built in and cannot be removed.
With that said, added together those apps take up around 55MB. That is around .0002% of your Mac's Storage space even if it has the smallest 256GB hard drive less if you have larger hard drives. It's pointless to worry about the space they take up. You can stick them in a folder in Finder and forget about them.

As those applications are installed as part of the operating system and it is on a read-only, code-signed drive volume, all you can do is just ignore their presence. There will be no means to remove them.
I don't know of a way to remove them. If you don't find a way, be aware that those apps total only 114.4MB. The smallest storage drive available on a 2024 MacBook Air M3 is 256GB. If you divide 256GB by 114.4MB, the result is .0004364. The space that you would free up by deleting those apps is virtually irrelevant.
