Launchpad Shows Empty Folders, How Do I Get Rid of 'Em?

Hello Mr. Bacon,

You should be able to remove a folder from Launchpad using the steps found under "Remove apps from Launchpad" found here: Use Launchpad to view and open apps on Mac - Apple Support

We'll include the steps below for easy access:

"Remove apps from Launchpad

1. In Launchpad, click and hold an app until all the apps begin to jiggle.
2. Click the app’s Delete button .
3. If a Delete button isn’t shown, the app can’t be removed from Launchpad. See Install and uninstall apps from the internet or a disc."

Let us know how that goes, and we'll keep moving forward based on your result.

Hi Mr. Bacon,

It sounds like you're unable to remove the empty folders from Launchpad. If so, you may consider reaching out to Apple directly so that they can help you to reset your Launchpad. You can find their contact details here: Contact Apple Support 

Kind regards.
