How can I delete game icon(from steam) from the launchpad?

Hi Macbook users,

I have downloaded and uninstalled Dota2 from steam then I deleted it by using these steps:

1. Go to app finder>Applications and find Dota2

2. Click show package content and dragged content to trash, also the icon in appfinder.

But I still see the icon in launchpad, as in the picture. I clicked at it and it says ''You can't open

the appication "Dota2" because it may be damaged or incomplete"

I clicked ok and the icon still in the launchpad.

If anyone knows how to get rid of the game icon please tell me.

Thanks alot.

MacBook, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

Hi Louis, I had a similar problem.

I found a resolve on this website: macos - Uninstalled Program Icon Stuck on Launchpad in Mac OS X Lion - Super User

User Declan helped by saying that you go to Finder > Go (in the tool bar) > Computer > Macintosh HD (or whatever hard drive you have) > Users > your username > applications and it should be there. For some reason this application folder is different then the standard and thats where mine was put.

Hope this helps.

You need to just delete that game icon from your lauchpad as well. There are two sign ➕ ➖ and you need to select the icon and press ➖ button.

If you tried this steps before then you need to delete the plist of that particular games... 🙂
