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:

  1. Go to Finder
  2. Open your home folder (i.e. "/Users//")
  3. Open "Applications"
  4. 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.
