Remove Parallels Icons From Launch Pad

[MelanieB]

Question is all in Title, here's a screen shot for context http://imgur.com/a/mgi3t

After installing Parallels 12 and Win 10, Launch Pad was littered with icons that I don't want or need.

Holding the Option key doesn't reveal an 'X' by which I can delete them, nor does dragging them to the trash seem to work either. Combinations of CMD+Option also fail to clear these pesky, dull, gray icons.

How can I get rid of these? Also, Parallels I love the app, but my goodness can we not do this? Please respect user space!

Hi MelanieB, please check out this article to know how to hide icons from launch Pad.

Thanks for the KB article.

To sum this up for other readers here: It suggest dragging and dropping the icons on top of one another, which automatically creates a folder(like on an iPhone), it then suggests that this folder can be hidden inside another folder.

I appreciate the fast response but this is a hacky "solution", since it's not actually removing them from launch pad.

I'll do this for the time being but I'd really like an option to remove them completely.

Thanks again
