After Visual Studio Code update, its icon on Dock has changed to a very tiny one which is literally inaccessible!

There is no way you can click on it or view options.

Does anyone know how to remove it from the Dock?

macOS: Mojave (10.14)

LOL right after posting it, I found the answer

Fist: open the Dock config (plist):

open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Dock.plist

Second: Find the item in persistent-apps:

Third: Delete that row!

Forth: Save the file

Fifth: kill the Dock to force it to restart

Honestly, I was expecting it not to have the VS Code icon anymore but magically the icon reappeared there with the right size!

I'd recommend removing the app from the dock and then opening it again, that should restore the correct icon. There are a few ways to remove an app from the dock:

1. If you can left click the icon you can drag it out.


2. If you can't drag you can Ctrl+Click and choose Options > Keep in Dock.


3. If no clicking is possible you can manually edit the dock plist file.
