Are you getting an error message from within the app, or from the macOS?

Deleting an App:


A. Deletion of Built-In Apps:

For apps built into the macOS, they cannot be deleted.


B. Use the Administrator Password:

Are you the Administrator? You'd need to have that password to get it to happen.


C. Use an Uninstaller:

For some apps, you need an uninstaller.
