Delete empty folders in Launchpad

This answer 100% worked for me!

• Take a random app
• Make it wobble (as if deleting it)
• Drag and drop into folder you're trying to delete
• Then click into folder you just dropped the app into
• Remove the app from the folder
• Folder will automatically delete

Thanks!

Arrobador,

If Eagerians idea doesn't work. You could try this.

Open Terminal.

Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Terminal

Copy and paste in the following Commands in Terminal and hit return at the end of each line.

defaults write com.apple.dock ResetLaunchPad -bool true

killall Dock

Hope that helps,

Weston

So I just tried something my own way and its worked since I've done it 2 months ago. All you have to do is click and hold 1 random app, then drop it into that annoying empty folder that won't go away. After this is done, click elsewhere on the screen so that your apps aren't wobbling anymore. Last step is to re-click on that random app in that annoying folder and once the app becomes wobbly again then drag it out of the annoying folder and it will go away. Don't know why this happened in the first place but for now this seems to be working.

To delete empty folder in Launchpad, i do the following step:

first, reset launchpad with this:

1. Go to the Finder.
2. Hold down the Option key and click on the the Go menu.
3. Select Library.
4. Look for the Application Support folder. Open it.
5. Look for the Dock folder. Open it.
6. Locate files ending in ".db". Drag them into the Trash.
7. Go to the  menu and select Restart...
8. Click on the Restart button.

then after restart, i take any app on that empty folder, then I move out that. and gotcha..Its works for me 🙂
