How to remove duplicate icon from Launchpad

Well, it was pretty annoying to find two Skype icons in my Launchpad after I’ve upgraded to the latest version. When I click and hold on one of those icons, the icons become wiggle, but there are no delete signs on the top left corner (because Skype is not from Mac App Store).

After a few googling, I’ve found out this simple solution. Thanks to Baryon from MacRumors Forums.

• Go to Applications folder, Right click on Skype, Choose Move to Trash.
• In my case, both Skype icons are gone from Launchpad. If you still see Skype icon in your Launchpad, click on it (Choose Yes when it ask you if you want to remove it).
• Go to Trash, right click on Skype, Choose Put Back.

That’s it, only one Skype icon show up in my Launchpad now. Your mileage may vary, feel free to post it in comments.
