As others have stated, the Books application cannot be officially deleted. Even if you could, it takes up a nominal amount of space unused.


If you just want to remove the app from the Dock, right click it and select Options > Remove from Dock.


If you need more space, try the steps here - Free up storage space on your Mac - Apple Support

I understand that you don't use the Books app and that you want to remove it. However, doing so would remove very little space from your Mac's drive. Regardless, not all apps can be simply removed. Again, have you tried the steps in the support article you arrived here from?


Here it is again, for reference: Uninstall apps on your Mac - Apple Support
