[QUOTE="louishen, post: 1455045, member: 40142"] I have done a blog post on that but haven't published it yet, so here's a sneak preview Zap Launchpad Launchpad stores it's list of icons in a database in a folder in MyHomeFolder > Library > Application Support > Dock. You can delete all the icons in that database by opening up Terminal (Applications > Utilities) and pasting in this command: [IMG]http://www.mac-forums.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/termonal-command1.png[/IMG] Now when you go into Launchpad you will have no icons, zero, nada. A clean slate, now what? Now you can just drag the icons you want to LaunchPad's doc icon. Once done you can organize your LaunchPad screens how you see fit, without having to manually delete the dozens of never used apps that had previously cluttered LaunchPad. Of course, new applications downloaded through the app store or downloaded manually will be added in future, but that's far easier the the mess that was LaunchPad you had to contend with before.
