Delete unknown shortcut.

Thank you for the reply. I cant delete it using that method. I finally figure out where it come from. It come from Chrome apps, from one of my google account. I sign out that google account and clear all the cache, then it gone.

Developers can bundle other apps inside of the primary app bundle. They only appear in the LaunchPad.

1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.

2 - Does the issue present in this mode ?

3 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.

4 - If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.

5 - If the issue is present in the dummy account - then, this appears to be a System Wide issue on the computer.

6 - Download the Application Etrecheck directly from the Developer.

The application is free or paid from added features. 

It will take a Snap Shot -  both the hardware and software.

Read some of the posting and arrive at your own conclusions.

The The Built in Security  is all that is required.

I don't use Launchpad at all, but the standard way to manage it is to click and hold until the icons start wiggling; then an x should appear at the corner, and you should be able to click that x to delete the shortcut.

Did you try that? What happened? Do these icons not show the x in the top left when wiggling?

To add to already good advise by @Luis S above.

In LaunchPad in view HOLD the Option key which should bring up the shacking feature with the little X in Top left Corner of Applications icons. The Click the X and presto - gone

Notation: this will work on most icons but not on Core Application like News, Calendar, TextEdit, Music etc.

These application are built into the Operating System and can not be deleted

Thanks, I didn't know one could do it with the Option key (but then, as I wrote before, I do not use Launchpad, so that's my excuse 😎)

The images above, some appear URL Shortcut which have been somehow added to Launchpad.

Internet Shortcut would Normally be used within the Browser of Choice

Aside - user profile appears as running Monterey 12.4 which needs immediate attention.

Current version, as of this writing, is Monterey 12.6 and has a separate update for Safari to version 16

This may or may not be related to above issue ?

FYI 😇

Image one is Launchpad without Option key

Image two with Option Key HELD
