Dear Everyone,
I have an “unusual” problem with some icons in the Dock being somehow unremovable.
I received a new MacBook Pro (Mojave 10.14.6) which was setup by the IT department where I work. I have 3 simple extra apps (Cisco and support chats/forum) preinstalled. Those, together with the apple “App Store” icon, are present in the Dock as well from the start. However, there is no way to remove those icons from the Dock: either dragging them out or into the trash does not work. Actually, if I right-click on them the pop-up “Options” menu does not show “Remove” option. It is a woefully simple to remove icons, but somehow those 4 are "protected" from such action.
The IT "support" was to "just live with it". But I am a picky bastard and it just bugs me that they are there clogging my dock (I will rarely if ever use them).
Since I am the administrator of the machine, I should have all privileges and being able to remove them. But I don't know how.
Can anyone knowing the inner working of macOS help to me to find a solution to this issue?
Best,
MG
