Autodescriptive. Without rooting it nor code licence I want to know if there is a way to eliminate pre-installed apps on my phone. Not disabling: removing permanently. I tried an app called Debloater but it says my device Nokia 6 does not allow blocking, so useless.

Thank you very much.

Have you searched online for the PM Uninstall method? I've done it on every Android phone I've owned the last few years. It can be done without ROOT. Here's a guide I found on XDA. Hope it works.

Without root it uninstalls apps from user space only. Apps are restored after factory reset, so you would need to repeat uninstall process in case of reset.

Yeah the apps would come back after factory reset but as long as you don't have to do that, the apps are as close to uninstalled as can be in that situation. I assume this method would work for OP since he's asking for a solution that doesn't require root. So he's not installing ROMS and keeping everything stock.
