You can not do this on MacOS, at least on MacOS 26 on Apple Silicon without SIP disabled. I was:
- Unable to drag from the Applications drawer to Trash
- Unable to drag from the Spotlight search to Trash
- Unable to drag from Finder (in ~/Applications) to Trash
- Unable to delete (in Finder)
- Unable to delete (through rm in terminal).
This has been a bother for years across MacOS versions and I've tried variations of these, personally.
In the future, you might consider not denigrating others in this way. It is hard to save face when you are wrong. And it is hard for others to provide an avenue for you to save face while also pointing out that your statements are not true.
As a non power of Mac (only recently switched), I'll definitely try this.
My repeated attempts to remove from Dock and hide it all failed: half the time I remove my ear buds the Apple Music pops up in the middle of my screen and auto-enables itself in the Dock...
The Dock just contains a bunch of shortcuts. The app itself lives in the /Applications folder along with the rest of them that you can choose to add to your dock (by just dragging them down there and letting a spot open up for it).
