Somehow, Apple's App Store app icons are duplicated in the Launchpad on my MacBook Pro running macOS 11.5 (Big Sur). Since this is a system-level application, I cannot delete one of these redundant icons. I tried the strategies that I found on the Internet, i.e., 1. Remove ~/Library/Application Support/Dock/*.db 2. Run defaults write com.apple.dock ResetLaunchPad -bool true 3. Run killall Dock 4. Restart the system But these duplicated icons are still in Launchpad after reboot. I am wondering how to remove one of them?
