If the OP is talking about M-x <tab> without having entered any text at
all, the completions buffer will be large because essentially, it will
list *all* possible commands that emacs knows about which can be entered
interactively i.e via M-x
The problem here is that this is a poor use of completion . You need to
give it a chance and enter at least a letter to narrow down the search
for possible completions.
Trying to remove all definitions of interactive functions that are
thought to be unnecessary will fail and is a pointless exercise. It will
never result in a small/convenient number of commands being shown with
just M-x <tab>. I'd suspect that even just the C built-in commands alone
would likely be too numerous and you cannot remove them. This approach
is essentially futile.
