I installed gimp from macports and uninstalled it (port uninstall gimp) when I found its not well maintained as gimp released its native mac build. But the gimp icon in launchpad didn't go away. How can I force remove the gimp's leftover launchpad icon? I tried moving it to trash and failed. I also tried to wiggle the launchpad icons to click on the 'x' mark but I didn't find 'x' mark on it. OSX 10.9.2 MacBook Air.

  • be careful, you could delete all apps, then you would have to start over (repopulating them)
