Delete apps from launchpad

Cannot remove applications from "launchpad" that can not run on their own ie. must be called from a parent application (Canon: Raw Image Task must be called from Canon Image Browser); not sure how they got int "launchpad" in the first place.
Any thoughts?

then even though you have removed the App from the Applications folder there are still support files left laying around. Check the Library folders Application Support for files for the Apps you remove from the main Applications folder.

I cannot delete apps from Launchpad.

Even though I have deleted the applications (purchased from the App Store) from my Applications file, these applications still appear in my Launchpad. How do I delete them? Dragging to the trash does not work, and neither does clicking the 'x' that comes up when you select one in the Launchpad. What can I do?

HT4673 Having trouble deleting apps from Launchpad...

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion, and Launchpad was working fine, but then as I was editing my apps within launchpad, suddently the option to delete apps or edit folders withing Launchpad went away. The little "x's" just dissappeared.
I'm still logged in as an admin and everything, I rebooted to no effect.
Any suggestions?

I have to press and hold "Option" or click and hold on any app.

How can I delete an app from launchpad, that doesn't have the little cross in the left top corner. The app isn't an App Store app. The application is also not present anymore in my application's folder in finder.

I tried to use the attached command through TERMINAL :
sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Help';" && killall Dock
sqlite3: Error: too many options: "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Help';"
Use -help for a list of options.
But i didn't work as I got the above error message.

I'm in the same boat as you -- except that I manage both a school lab (volunteer job) and macs in the enterprise (pay job). What I think we need is the Education Volume Purchasing Program
http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/faq.html
Unfortunately this all seems a little rough around the edges -- for example, I have found updates for AppStore apps on the support.apple.com updates download site, but then when I install them via ARD they don't actually update the software. (The AppStore icons still show as needing the updates, and the version info reports the old version.) The documentation is also vague about which AppleID to use in which circumstance. I think they just haven't finished thinking through the implications of the various procedures and policies upon the various kinds of customers. When we deployed Mountain Lion on the school lab, we made an install usb and went around and installed it on each computer -- and it appears that you are on the honor system as far as paying for all of the licenses that you install. We did! But they appear to have no way to enforce it.
So far, I have only deployed 9 Lion macs in my day job, and our "solution" to the AppStore showing updates problem has been to drag the AppStore icon off of the users' docks so they don't see them!

Remove non apple app from Launchpad

How do you remove a non Apple App from Launchpad without deleting it from the PC?

Place all of the non Apple apps into a folder within Launchpad.
At least... the non Apple apps won't be spread across Launchpad.

Remove apps from Launchpad?

Can I customize the layout of Launchpad? I've deleted apps from my applications folder but they're still in Launchpad with an unsightly question mark icon. Is there a way to fix this?

Try this utility: Launchpad Manager 1.3.10.
If you click and hold on an application until they start to wiggle, then you can delete certain ones that appear with a circled "x" in the upper left corner. Only works for applications installed via App Store.

How do I delete apps from the cloud as well as my device (iPhone 4 and iPad 2)

I am using an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2. I want to remove apps from the devices as well as the cloud list. (Not on this i***). Help!

To delete apps from a device press and hold any of the apps on the device's homescreen and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'.
You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show in the Purchased links for redownloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 - with iOS 7, after hiding apps on my computer's iTunes I've been needing to log out of my account on my iPad and then log back for them to be hidden from the Purchased tab in the App Store app.
If you need to permanently delete data from iPhone, My recommendation is iPhone Data Eraser, which can erase all data including contacts, messages, call history, apps, system setting, photo, video, keyboard cache, safari bookmark. Indeed, iPhone Data Eraser worth trusting and it makes the work more effective. What you need is a windows computer. One single click and data deletion finish. In addition, the program also works well with iPad and iPod Touch.

They are not taking up storage space. Apple knows you installed them at one time (="purchased", whether you paid money or not), and merely keeps a list so that if you wish to reinstall any of them on this or a future device, you can. This is useful if maybe you deleted them due to space constraints, and now have a device with more memory and wish to reinstall.
It's also useful for taking a trip down Memory Lane looking at all the useless apps you installed once then immediately deleted once you realized they were total garbage ...
