LaunchPad CleanUp

    • Locate the Terminal and open

    • Type the following command, this will create a backup folder on your desktop for your launchpad app.

    • mkdir ~/Desktop/DB_Backup

    • Type the following command to copy the database. This will place it in the back folder that was created in the second step.

    • cp ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db ~/Desktop/DB_Backup/

    • Type the next command, this will put the LaunchPad back to its original setup and will take all programs out of folders.

    • sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db 'DELETE from apps;' \ ' DELETE from groups WHERE title<>""; DELETE from items WHERE rowid>2;' \ && killall Dock

    • However, it should be noted that the folders will not disappear. To get rid of them, simply load at least one app into Launchpad, then drag the app into & out of the folder. It will 'evaporate' when it's empty.

    • If you want to do a full reset of the LaunchPad, I will create another guide for those steps.
