Any ideas how to fix empty progress bar on app in launchpad?

[geekonthepc]

Hi there

Apologies if this has already been discussed. I did do a search but unfortunately I couldn't find any possible solutions that seemed to work.

So I'm on DP3 and all seems to be fine except this. There was recently an iMovie update which I did after installing DP3 but unfortunately I'm on a slow connection here and for one reason or another I had to restart the download a couple of times. It picked up where it left off, but now I'm left with 3 icons that do nothing at all and don't seem to be removable. Holding alt and then clicking the cross does nothing.

I tried to do a refresh of the launchpad through terminal but may not have done it right as nothing has changed.

It's not exactly a major issue but I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas about removing it. I've tried simple things like doing a full reboot and whatnot.

Image is attached.

Cheers
Alex

And you can send a feedback to Apple using the feedback app
