I deleted the app, but it is still visible on the launchpad.

I deleted the app from the dock but it is still seen on the launchpad. There is no delete button that opens when I hold the option key, and the app could not be moved to trash.

It appears to be just a glitch with launchpad.

The application does not exist anymore.


You may need to reset Launchpad. This will revert everything in Launchpad to their defaults.


In Terminal, paste the following line:


defaults write com.apple.dock ResetLaunchPad -bool true; killall Dock
