One-Line Terminal Command to Refresh Launchpad Contents in OS X
If you are comfortable with the command line, you can also do this entire process through the Terminal with the following commands:
rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db ; killall DockBe sure to issue that command exactly as written, because the rm command is powerfuland will delete everything without asking, and * is a wildcard for any files matching the *.db name (meaning, anything that ends with .db).
If you want control over exactly what shows up in Launchpad rather than just creating a bunch of folders, use the third party System Preference Launchpad Control, it’s free and works as a sql frontend to the Launchpad database.
Again, this works in OS X 10.7, OS X 10.8, OS X 10.9, and newer.
