How to delete/restore launchpad icons with 1 click

Here's an easy way to delete or restore launchpad apps without using terminal commands or deleting/uninstalling any apps:

LaunchpadCleaner: A small, simple and free app that allows you clean up your Launchbar with a single click: http://zoltanb.co.uk/launchpadcleaner/
 
ctrl-alt-cmd-click, they re-appear next time you reboot though.

really? that is ridiculous... why did Apple do this?

Im glad i still use Stacks but if Apple could clean up Launchpad a little bit and allow me to organize the way I choose I would probably give it a try
