When I got my MacBook Pro, I got the Apple TV Plus subscription for free for three months. After three months, I lost interest in the Apple TV and decided to delete the app from my Mac. But, as the Apple TV app is a built-in app in all Apple devices, it can’t be deleted from Mac.
This is one of the major issues among Mac users. When I looked for solutions on the Apple Community page, more than 200 users were facing this issue. Instead of trying to delete the app, I simply removed the app from my Mac’s Dock.
