Safely Deleting Apps:

Particular builtin apps cannot be deleted. So, you’d be stuck with those. As for third-party apps, you’d lose a license, and likely some files that are stored within the applications folder within your username.


So, Back Up your Mac, First:  Be certain you Create a Time Machine Backup of your Mac, so that way you can have something to restore your Mac from, should anything go wrong with the reconfiguration.
