Websites in launchpad, that I can't delete?

I have 3 websites in my launchpad that I haven't placed there, they won't delete and won't open when I click on them. I have attached pictures for a better understanding.

An older article about how to remove items from Launchpad suggests using terminal,

to 'refresh' the Launchpad by using the command line killall dock, etc; & more...

Those items may be odd effects that were accidentally lost or misplaced in the

Applications folder; not sure if you had items you wanted to save that went

astray. A URL such as a web address would not be something usually found

in the Launchpad.


I don't use the Launchpad for anything, but it has been in OS X versions for awhile.

{Have looked in to there, to see what it was; but have no use for it. Older OS X &

Mac OS had different & better tools to do what this was supposed to do.}


Hopefully you can remove the item(s) -- did you try a search for those exact URLs

in the system? It may try to look online; as smart as these are, they're not so much.


Good luck in any event...! 🙂
