Please how to remove the application icon from the launchpad. I followed all the instructions on support, but the icon of the Signal application or games downloaded from Steam simply cannot be deleted. However, it is not an application required for the functioning of the Mac.
I would be very grateful for an answer, thank you.

When you open the Launchpad, and then, hold down the Option key, does the app(s) you want to remove have an (X) next to them? Those that do are from the Apple App Store.
How exactly did you try removing this app:
Did you also check locations, other than the /Applications folder, like:
Finally, if you are comfortable with using commands in the Terminal app, you can try this one. In this command, replace *appname* with the name of the app you want removed.
sudo find / -iname "*appname*" 2>/dev/null

Just to be sure. Do you just want to remove this app's icon from the macOS Launchpad, or want to completely remove this app from your Mac?
I want to do both, but I think I delete the app from the finder (applications) and everywhere else, but the icon is still there.
