Move Apple apps to different place?

[PhotoTripper]

Is it possible to move unused Apple apps to a specific folder inside eg the Utilities folder without issues?
I know I have to disable the SIP for the actual move but will the Apple tentacles still find the apps when needed?

The reason I want to do this is to unclutter my app folder as I don't use and never will use many of the apps. I tried to unistall them which was easy enough but of course gave El Cap a heart attack which kept draining my battery as it probably couldn't find everything it wanted.

Looking for a simple (hopefully positive) answer and no lecturing

Why don’t you hide them?

sudo chflags hidden /Applications/<application>.app

Of course, SIP must still be disabled.

Ah, even better. Thank you!!!

Works great for some apps but it seems there is an issue with apps that have names with a space in them eg Game Center, Photo Booth etc. How do I enter these app names for the code to work?

Paths have to be one whole, otherwise Bash interprets them as separate parameters to the command. There are two ways to do this:

sudo chflags hidden /Applications/Game\ Center.app
sudo chflags hidden "/Applications/Game Center.app"

You can also use autocompletion when you start typing a path and press the tab key to fill in the blanks. For example, type /Applications/Game, then press tab.

Awesome. Thanks for your help
