Remove Items from the Dock

This is the “poof” that appears when you remove something from the Dock.

To remove items from the Dock, simply press-and-drag them off the Dock and drop them anywhere on the Desktop. A cute little “poof” will appear. Don’t worry—you won’t destroy the original files. All you remove is an icon from the Dock—you won’t hurt the original application, folder, file, web site, or anything else. (You cannot remove the Trash basket or the Finder icon, though.)
