$\"Gravatar\"$ For the changes to take effect you will have to restart the Dock, either by logging out and in again or by running the killall Dock command in the Terminal.

$\"Gravatar\"$ If you want to remove a spacer, treat it like any other icon in the Dock. Either drag it off and let go to get a nice puff of smoke, or right-click on it and choose \"Remove from Dock\".

$\"Gravatar\"$ If you have seen a rocket dock in windows, you should get a good idea of a separator.
that looks better than mere spaces..

$\"Gravatar\"$ Problem. This worked fine on my Mac Pro but on my new MacBook it created two spacers, one next to the other, but they are not found, moveable or deletable. I've tried just about everything from adding a mouse to see if I couldn't grab the spacer and move or delete it but no success.

So how do I remove a spacer if I can't drag it off with a poof? Is there a terminal command that will remove it? If so, please post. Thanks.

$\"Gravatar\"$ 11 days ago I wrote and asked for assistance in removing a spacer through the command line. Is there no answer to this? The Spacers will not drag off the dock or delete. How do I get rid of them????

$\"Gravatar\"$ Ok. I've found the answer. Go to Users/\"Your Username\"/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Dock.plist and delete the Dock.plist then restart your machine. The Dock defaults will reappear without the spacers. You just have to bring back your previous App icons and remove those defaults you don't want.

Surprising that no one came to help.

$\"Gravatar\"$ Hi Tim,

Sorry for not responding to your query. Unfortunately I find it hard to respond to every comment on the site, let alone provide technical support for everyone who messages me.

Where I know the answer to a query, or the problem is one I can quickly diagnose, I do try to respond. However, often thing are a bit more complicated.

As the readership of the site is quite small, there is not really a large community who can help out so the workload for me is quite high considering this is just a hobby.
