Q: How to remove x11 from OS X 10.9 Mavericks
This question exists unanswered for 10.7. Since it is old, unanswered an unaccurate (I'm on 10.9) I'm posting this for 10.9.
How can I remove Programs > Utilities > X11.app from my system? I have no use for it. Dragging to the trash does not work, since OSX says "Cannot remove X11 since it's needed by the system."
Apple has a help page here, but that help page is not helpful since it does not address the question of removal at all: About X11 and OS X
So now what? X11 doesn't do anything is I click it, but I also cannot remove it. "It just works" not so much...
OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

Then I refer you to the very end of my post
If that fails, you can always try a Terminal session, but that is a bit more risky. The command would be:
sudo rm -rf /Applications/Utilities/X11.app
