I just got an M5 and it comes with the usual trash applications like Chess or Garage Band, that I don't need for anything. I would like to know how can I remove these applications from my machine since I will never use them.
Thank you very much
If you feel the extra apps in the Applications folder clutter things up, then you might simply collect all those annoying apps into their own subfolder within Applications.
But no, you cannot delete most of the apps that come installed with macOS.
Garage Band is downloadable from the App Store, and as such should be removable from your Mac. Simply select the app in the Applications folder and then drag it to the Trash or press Command-delete (⌘-delete)
That would be NO.
Don't want to use them? Then don't.
With all due respect, I don't care about what "Most Users" do.

I don’t think there is anything that would keep you from creating a folder like “Applications2” in your user account, and populating it with aliases to just the applications that you wanted to see. You could also presumably drag such a folder into the Finder sidebar and/or the Dock, and tell the Finder not to display the real Applications folder in the sidebar.
Yep. Nice idea! 🙂👍🏽
