Click down on the icon in the dock and drag it where you want in the dock to place it and release.

Prevent Apps from staying in dock I'm looking for the solution for years, seriously, but still no success. So the question is quite simple: I don't want to have an app icon in the dock after it's closed. Ever. Is it possible? I know about "Show recent applications in dock" setting it's recommended in each 2nd post about this problem. But it's not exactly what I need. Some inactive icons still in the dock. So again the question. How to remove app icons from dock forever after the app is terminated?
