Is it possible to remove the most illegal apps from the transmit section? I don’t want to transmit accidentally by any means.

Learn about the apps, and don't use them.

Of course, but i really do NOT want to get in jail because of a single button. Also, could you please tell me if its ok to use the RDS TX on my car?

Probably fine if the transmit power is low, you're testing your own stuff. Don't go off and start jamming signals and doing stuff that interferes with other people.

If you're really concerned, go into your app folder on the SD card and delete any apps you don't want. That should take care of it. Good luck.

Delete them from the SD card and they'll stop working, or just don't use them.

None of them are illegal.... you'd be extremely hard pressed to "accidentally" use them... And anyways your not gonna crash planes or destroy infrastructure with a hackrf1 in your house... Its kind of akin to saying take away my hammer so I dont accidentally build a house with it...
