Recently, I find this icon "Google Search" appears in my launchpad, I searched online and located this app in this "Chrome Apps" folder, deleted it. However, it appeared again the second day. This is really annoying. How can I delete it PERMANENTLY?

I don't even know how it happened, I've been using Chrome for a really long time, but this happened only a couple of days ago, didn't install any google related apps recently.

  • If you delete it, then try to open, it should show a question mark over the icon. You should then be able to delete it just like deleting an app on iOS.

Manual Deletion Required.

  1. Go to your user (home) folder.
  2. Click on Applications.
  3. Right-click on the Chrome Apps folder and send it to the trash.
  4. Empty your trash.

enter image description here

If above doesn't help:

From terminal try removing the following directory and empty trash:

rm -rf ~/Applications/Chrome Apps.localized
