Hide unused launchpad apps

There are a few default apps that I will never use, but they cannot be uninstalled or deleted from the Launchpad. Is there any way to hide the app icons to reduce unnecessary clutter?

You can move them to the end of the last page of Launchpad. Click and hold the Option key and all the apps wiggle. While still hold the Option key, select and right click ond hold the click and move the app to last page one at a time. THe page you move to has to have an empty space so iteration may be required to get them all on the last page.
