Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
After upgraded to Yosemite, I rearranged my launchpad. Normally, when the last icon left the folder, the folder should disappear automatically. In fact, it did. But after I restart the computer, those empty folders appear again! I've try to restart it several times and those folders are still there...
Do you guys have this problem?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10)
Just Relaunch your Launchpad
Open Terminal
Copy and paste this commands on your terminal and hit return at the end of each line
defaults write com.apple.dock ResetLaunchPad -bool true
killall Dock
hope that helps,

"
cd $(sudo find /private/var/folders -name com.apple.dock.launchpad)/db
sqlite3 db "SELECT * FROM groups;"
sqlite3 db "DELETE from groups WHERE title='Untitled';"
killall Dock

Way to be.. This works.
Worked for me as well, thank you very much !
thanks.nice little idea and yo GO
This worked. However, be warned....30 minutes of sorting my launchpad.....this restored everything back to its original position. including the folder. basically...it just gave me another chance to get the items out of the folder and hope that Launchpad erased the folder itself properly the second time around....which it did. Well....back to resorting again. Thanks
@urangBandung, this worked. It also solved a problem where swiping left or right in launchpad would skip the middle page.
Can't delete empty folders in launchpad..
