How to remove apps from Monterey Launchpad

After Monterey install I have a lot of apps in the launchpad with the circle/slash symbol. When clicked on the icon I get the message, "The developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of macOS. Contact the developer for more information." How do I delete those items that are no longer supported? Hold click or option key gets a jiggle but no "X" and drag to Trash does nothing. I don't see them in the Application folder either.


MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.0

These apps which will not launch in Monterey, and are represented in Launchpad with the icon you describe, may be in a folder within your Applications folder. If you can't find them use Spotlight to locate them - then delete them.
