No "X" button in Launchpad

[Xcallibur]

Hi, I'm currently attempting to remove an application, I know I could just move the application to the trash folder, but I've tried to remove it using Launchpad, however after holding a click on the icon, no "X" button is appearing.

What are the reasons for this?

Only apps obtained from the Mac App Store show the X button in wiggle mode.

The built-in apps can't be removed.

I should have said what application I was removing as it wasn't a built in application. But thanks anyway.

I didn't know that, you've answered my question, thanks.
