I'll not duplicate the web here about this entirely.

Look at the Settings on Apps and on some versions you often see a Disable button. Use that.

Some apps on that screen have an uninstall update as well as a force stop. If I disable, and mind you I've completed the test on side effects I can force stop, uninstall updates then clear this app's data and cache. That's going to reduce what space this app occupied.

you cannot, you can only disable

you cannot uninstall those apps, you can only disable. you will have to unlock and root your phone if you want to get rid of those apps. By doing that, you will void any warranty left on the phone and may not be able to use some features like samsung/android pay.
