Launchpad Icon in my Launchpad

Question

I have accidently "dragged" launchpad onto the launchpad icon in my dock, thus it added the launchpad icon into my launchpad, how can I remove it from my launchpad?

Help appreciated! enter image description here

You can't delete Apple apps from Launchpad by holding the option key and pressing the "x" — Charlie, Jun 11 '13 at 17:33

To delete Apple aps from Launchpad without installing another questionable program from www you can do it your self from Terminal.

sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db "DELETE from apps WHERE title='APPNAME';" && killall Dock

...replacing “APPNAME” with the name of the application you want to remove from Launchpad :)

Launchpad Manager

Launchpad Manager will allow you to delete any app from your Launchpad. Just open it, select Launchpad (or any other app) and ⌘ cmd+⌫ backspace.
