Your device is a iPhone? or a Mac?
I am assuming that your using a Mac since you said on your launchpad. Check out this support guide. It should help you out

thank you for the help, and yes it is a mac
Ok here what to do. Open up the application folder and find those programs and click and drag them to the trash can.
After it gets there, empty everything out of the recycling bin. This will delete the programs off your computer
Every time i drag it to my trash can it bounces back into the launchpad 😕😟

You installed a fake "utility" called "Advanced Mac Cleaner." Like any software that purports to automatically "clean up" or "speed up" a Mac, it's a scam. To remove it, take the steps below. Some of the files listed may be absent. Back up all data before proceeding.
If you paid for the software with a credit card, consider reporting the charge to the bank as fraudulent.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.pcv.hlpramc.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services â–¹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. Log out or restart the computer.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go â–¹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You may not see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 2
Move the following item to the Trash as in Step 1:
/Library/Application Support/amc
This time you may be prompted for your administrator login password. There's no need to log out after taking this step.
Step 3
Move this item to the Trash:
~/Library/AdvancedMacCleaner
Step 4
Open the Applications folder and move an item named "Advanced Mac Cleaner" (if it's present) to the Trash. Empty the Trash.

"VLC" can be removed by dragging it from the Applications folder to the Trash. You can't delete anything by dragging from LaunchPad or the Dock.
I followed the Step 1 Method (and emptied the trash), but when I restarted my computer, the apps were still there. Is there anything else that I can do?
