Launchpad in Mac OS Lion shares a key behavior with its iOS counterpart: deleting an app from the launcher also uninstalls it from the computer, as long as the app was purchased from the Mac App Store. Of course, it’s quick and easy to redownload the MAS apps if they’re needed.

Note: Keep in mind that you can only delete applications that have been purchased in the Mac App Store from Launchpad. All you have to do is press and hold the option key
