Welcome to Android Central! Since you said that you have zero knowledge about rooting, I would be very cautious about doing any of this. Deleting a system app is usually irreversible, and if you're not careful, you can really screw things up by deleting something that was actually important.

The better thing to do is to Disable the app if possible (in Settings>Apps), which will prevent that app from ever opening or updating. Preventing an app from updating can save some space, since apps may start to increase in size over time as more features are added.

Not all preinstalled apps can be Disabled, though. If you have a Samsung phone, you can use Package Disabler in that situation: https://www.packagedisabler.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopnmtZwvLjFSL-riZYjslNFaRxlJW0IKnzCDS4_4wzVQGvv-KjI
