I Accidentally removed launchpad from the dock. How do I recover it and put it back in the dock?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities

If you removed Launchpad from the Dock and you want to recover it, just open Finder, select Applications in the sidebar, and drag the Launchpad icon to the Dock, so it will appear again in the Dock

You are welcome

Hi Mende1,

Thanks that solved my problem, too.

THANKS🙂

Yeah, Thanks mende1.

I too did it by mistake and I know this solution too. Found it one day while I was fiddling with my MacBook Pro but tend to forget when I needed it. Thank for Reminding me. 😀

Thanks so much! I'm working on a school project and deleted it from the Dock. Total panic mode!

Thanks again!

THANK YOU, "mende1". WHY CAN'T ALL THOSE [so-called] "HELP-LINE" Know-it-alls give such common sense, easy-to-understand, PLAIN ENGLISH directions?!

Thank you 🙂

Thank you so much, mende1, simple answer easily found!

thank you a lot, it was easy and helpful.

thanks
