Removing things from the dock

"Removing things from the dock: It was one of those spoofs, a pop up that said my Adobe Software is out of date and needs upgrading. I was hesitant to do anything with it. But I tried that, and it disappeared. Thanks.“

You are welcome.

Important: Always Create a Backup: 

Prior to making any major changes to your device, such as an application installation, be sure you always ways backup your Mac prior installing an update. Doing so, you will have something to restore from the backup, should anything go wrong with the update. Point Being: Always have a recent backup — and create one today.

"Removing things from the dock: How do I remove things from the dock? In the past I just dragged them off and they went *poof*. Now the item snaps back into the dock. I'm using OS 11.2.2 on a MacBook Pro. --Tom in Texas"
