How to remove chrome app icons from launchpad?
I uninstalled Google chrome by deleting it from the Applications folder and I also deleted the associated profile data from ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome
But I have failed to remove all the chrome apps icons from launchpad.
I would greatly appreciate it if you can point to the location where google is keeping those app launchers. I have looked for them in the hidden folders as well as Google folders in ~/Library but I have had no luck.
Thanks in advance.
Solution 1:
Open Finder, select Go/Go to Folder... (⇧⌘G), paste in:
~/Applications/Chrome Apps.localized
Delete the apps from there.
(Note that ~
means your user folder, not the regular Applications folder which is at /Applications
without ~
.)
Finally, empty the trash to remove from launchpad.
If you use Chrome Canary: it will have its own additional folder in ~/Applications
.
Solution 2:
- Go to Finder
- Open your home folder (i.e. "/Users//")
- Open "Applications"
- You should be able to see a folder named "Chrome Apps"
Either you can delete this folder or open it and delete the apps one by one.
