Hello, So this has been a problem for years but I finally decided to look deeper into it. So on the Laucnpad menu it shows you all the apps that you apparently have installed, however, I have removed a few of these applications and the app icons are still there. How do I get rid of these Icons? Thanks!

What are these apps?
Where did you remove these items from and how?
Yes Launchpad shows your currently installed apps.
You can click and hold on an App until they all start to shake, and then click on the ✖ in the corner to delete it. However, this only works for Apps from the Mac App Store.
Other apps have different ways of uninstalling them.
They are mostly steam apps
You'll probably need to follow the Steam instructions for removing Apps and games.
