MAC OS X contains build in app like Safari, Mail, FaceTime, Chess, Photo Booth, Stickies, QuickTime, we can’t move the apps directly to the Trash, Today I tried to uninstall the Photo booth app but it throws the error like. “Photo Booth” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X.’ Then I tried other apps too same error. So How to Delete Build in app from MAC OS X.
Warning: Try it On your own Risk, Once you followed the below mentioned method there is no revert back you can’t install it back. Because it’s a build in apps its comes with the OS you have to reinstall the OS back. Follow Method:. Open Application. Open Utilities. Open Terminal Type the following cmd to change the directory cd /Applications/. Now You are in Application Directory it will not prompt any confirmation message this commands will simply delete the application.
Delete Photo Booth sudo rm -rf Photo Booth.app Delete Safari sudo rm -rf Safari.app/ Delete Mail sudo rm -rf Mail.app/ Delete FaceTime sudo rm -rf FaceTime.app/ Delete QuickTime Player sudo rm -rf QuickTime Player.app/ Delete Stickies sudo rm -rf Stickies.app/ Delete Chess sudo rm -rf Chess.app/ This may cause some error try it On your Own Risk.
Reinatalling the os alone does not erase data. But I do still recommend taking a backup by booting into recovery and click Utilities in the upper menu bar and then select terminal then type csrutil disable then type reboot then when your Mac boots up and when you hear the chime hold CMD+S then wait until the plain text is done loading then type mount -uw / then grab a pen drive to plug in to.
