At the time of writing this, you get stuck with a bunch of Google apps added to your Mac’s Launchpad when you install Google Chrome.

These are:

  • Google Chrome (to be expected)
  • Google Drive
  • Gmail
  • YouTube and
  • Google Search

I found this to be annoyingly intrusive and a modification that I didn’t ask for nor agree to. I found it even more frustrating that you don’t simply navigate to your Applications folder to remove the uninvited guests.

Instead, you must navigate  to your users folder (Right-click on finder icon –> Go To Folder… –> enter forward slash [/] hit enter), enter your user account folder, find the Applications sub-folder and here we find a new folder named Chrome Apps.

Deleting the Chrome Apps folder removes the icons from Launchpad.
