How to delete an App Shortcut?

To delete an app from any Workspace, follow these steps:

  1. Right-click on the app shortcut you want to remove and select "Remove App Shortcut."

Please note that this will only remove the app shortcut from the current Workspace and keep the original app or any other shortcuts of the app if there are any. If you want to remove the main app and associated shortcuts, you will need to check the box in the confirmation pop-up.
