How to remove an application "tile" from Anaconda Navigator Home tab

Question

I have a bunch of apps that I will never use (GLueviz, Orange3, Rstudio) that I would like gone from my Home tab. They are not installed, but there is no way to remove the tile for the app. The gear icon isn't going to do it for me.

I dug into the config file ~/.anaconda/navigator/anaconda-navigator.ini and nothing obvious there. Oddly it says that vscode_enable = False yet VS Code does appear as a tile.

I'm running 1.9.12 individual edition on MacOS Catalina.

On navigator 2.1.1, I was able to comment out the two lines for Datalore and IBM Watson in ~/opt/anaconda3/pkgs/anaconda-navigator-2.1.1-py39_0/lib/python3.9/site-packages/anaconda_navigator/api/external_apps/__init__.py.

    web_apps: 'typing_extensions.Final[typing.Mapping[str, WebAppInitializer]]' = {
        #'datalore': DataloreApp,  # noqa: F405
        #'ibm_watson': IBMWatsonApp,  # noqa: F405
    }
