The " Install Ventura " in Launchpad is a left over from the Original Installation


Yes it can be removed


First while in Launchpad >> Click on the Install Ventura.


It will do nothing


Now, HOLD the Option Key


Notice that Install Ventura should either shack or have a X in Top Left of the Install Ventura icon


Click the X - gone


Or, just Drag the Install Ventura icon to the Trash
