Ghost file in the Dock, how to delete?

Hi!
I recently can see a file in the Download folder in the Dock. I can't see it in the Download folder in Finder. If I try to"catch" it I get a message "The Application can't be found". I find it irritating and would like to delete the file. It is named 4_Kkt409.part, What is a .part file anyway?? Does anyone know?

After some searching on the Internet
I found that the .part file is a partial file from an unsuccessfull download in Firefox. I had a such a week ago. The application Onyx has a cleaning feature for deleting the icon cache from the Dock. It worked. I had to restart and also change the dock settings as I like to have them
