If they say you can't, you probably can't without mucking about in the terminal, something I don't recommend unless you're knowledgable. Anyway, it takes up a very small amount of space.

You still haven't answered my question. Are you saying that you deleted the application and it's still showing in Launchpad?

Or, are you asking how to delete an application?

Are you saying that the icon is still there after you deleted the application?
