how to remove Siri from Mac OS

Anyone know how to 'Delete' ( as in remove ) from my Mac.

I don't need it , I don't want it

@tygb & Luis, turning off Siri has a "bug". Those with audio devices with touch controls on headphones etc. trigger a Siri dialog window asking if you want to enable Siri. From what others have said, it's annoying.

I have Siri enabled so it doesn't annoy me.

Downgrade to El Capitan.

Some further info. Use at your own risk.

If you are installing Mac OS Sierra , an option comes in the end to check the box would you like to enable Siri , you can uncheck the box at that time only and so , you can still use Mac OS Sierra without Siri .

Don't want it, don't use it, as simple as that. Just turn it OFF in the preferences.

You CANNOT remove it as it is part of the OS, but when turned off it is as if it is not there.

Thank you dialabrain, for point this out. As I have Siri enabled all the time, I had never encountered the problem you mentioned. Annoying, for sure.

Welcome. There are several threads abut the issue sprinkled about. I didn't keep any of the links.

Apparently there is also an issue with certain devices triggering Siri as if you clicked on its icon or used Siri's keyboard shortcut with Siri enabled. Also annoying I can imagine. I don't own any of those devices so not an issue for me.

I've found the solution!! This is also the solution if you wish to change any of your default icons too. With one of the OS X updates came a "security measure" which disables the user from modifying a lot of core files on their own macs, this includes taking away the "Move to Trash" option for Siri (and also doesn't allow you to modify certain files inside of some directories).

Should you wish to do so, restart your computer and press Cmd+R whilst it's restarting. Once there, open terminal on one of the drop downs in the top menu bar and type in the command: csrutil disable

Then you may restart your computer. Now you can go to siri in Applications and it will have the option: Move to Trash.

Finally, should you wish to re-enable csrutil, repeat the steps above and in terminal type: csrutil enable

I hope this helps and that it's still relevant! With csrutil disabled you are the true owner of your computer with full access to any file on it, as long as you're the administrator.
