preinstalled apps will not delete off of my Mac version 12.1

When I try to delete the preinstalled apps on the Mac they will not delete. The X does not appear and when moved to the trash they bounce back. Is there a trick that I am missing?

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

They're protected by the system and not deletable.
