Skinny files on Mac Dock

I got 3 skinny Numbers files on dock (NOT the standard sized icons for files- I DO have these 3 files with reg size on the dock as well) that I cannot get rid of, cannot click on them, cannot throw them in trashcan. Please help me get rid of them.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

Hi Jowan,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you’re having trouble removing files from your dock. We’re happy to help.


If you haven’t already, restart your Mac and see if you can move the files to the Trash. 


Then, try the steps in this guide to remove the files: Use the Dock on Mac - Apple Support


Should that not resolve your issue, restart in safe mode and see if you can remove them: How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support


Let us know if that helps.


Take care.
