Deleting an Uninstalled game off my LaunchPad

[jeremycroake]

I just bought tropico 5 and I wasn't a big fan of it, so I uninstalled it from my MacBook and asked for a refund. However, I cant get rid off the Icon in my Launchpad. I hold down on the mouse and the icons shake and it won't let me delete it or let me send it into the trash from that page. I read older subs for people having the same trouble, but it was from like 2011. I also went into my applications in finder and it wasn't there... Any help would be useful. Thank You in advance.

I use this free version, it supports Moutain Lion up to El Capitan

This doesn't seem like a Steam problem.... Perhaps ask on the Apple forums? Or take the computer to an Apple Store?

I did a search and found the solution a few days ago, and, of course, cannot find it again. There are other, more efficient, ways to do what you want but I found this method successful. Basically you do this:
1. Go into launchpad.
2. Drag the icon into your dock.
3. Right click on the icon and select Options>Show in Finder.
4. Delete file.
5. Right click on icon in dock again Options>Remove from Dock.

Offending icon should be gone from launchpad.

This actually worked for Tropico which I thank you, but now when i try to get cities:skylines off the launchpad. I do the exact same thing but when i drag it into the dock it automatically copies another icon of skylines in my dock.

If you already have one in your dock then skip the dragging to dock step?

This process still works with macOS High Sierra as I just now removed a lingering Deus Ex: HR icon

Still works on Mac OS Mojave, thanks 2016 internet stranger,

Finder, home folder, applications (as opposed to the applications folder at the top of the hard drive), you'll find icon files for those things appearing in launchpad. Delete them and the problem will vanish.

Thank you so much! I've been trying to do with for months! Dropping to the dock actually works woo!

Steam apps appearing in Launchpad are (typically) installed at ~/Applications
