(1) Looking to delete apps on new macbook air M2 that I don't use. Maps/News/Etc. Please provide clear instructions if you know. (2) Also some files appear locked (the locked isn't checked, but faded out and inaccessible). How do make the lock/unlock option accessible again. Thank you!

1Welcome to SU. OS version is important to know for this kind of question. Generally you only need to drag the app to the trash. However, as per [this](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202235) Apple KB document _" You can't use the Finder to delete apps that are required by your Mac, such as many of the apps installed by macOS"_. None of those take up much space, for example Maps on Mojave is only 12.6MB, Mail 36.6MB, so I wouldn't even bother. – Peregrino69 Apr 01 '23 at 04:33

2This is possible on M-series Mac but highly inadvisable. Leave them alone. Next update will only put them all back & you'll have to do it again. – Tetsujin Apr 01 '23 at 06:28
