I searched in the other threads but every other solution wouldn't work for me. I originally attempted to download these apps from the app store, but each time they failed and didn't show up in launchpad. However when I rebooted my machine, these 4 icons were there (1 for each time I attempted to download that app). The two original apps are no longer in the applications folder as well. Please help!!!
Got a tip for us?

I have been trying for over a week to remove these, unfortunately for now looks like they are there to stay. I reported the bug to Apple.
Found this thread and the fix in it worked for me, should work for you as well https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1758631/
Awesome that worked, I saw that thread before and tried it but nothing happened, I must have mistyped something before.
