When you want to remove an app but don't want to install it, your options are going to be limited until the released of Android 15 and Private Space.

Do not grant permissions to an app that it should not need: torches and star-gazing apps don’t need access to your contacts and phone. And never grant accessibility permissions that facilitate device control unless you have a need. Once a month, scan through your phone and delete a few of the apps you no longer need or haven’t used in a long time.

Apps like Google Pay and Apple Pay allow you to tap your phone to make contactless payments but are they safe or should you avoid them?
