I'm a newbie to ubuntu and was trying to uninstall dash to dock as I don't need it. I uninstalled it using sudo apt remove gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock and the dock still showed up in activities overview. Then I found someone used to sudo apt purge gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock to resolve the issue. I tried, still no luck. And now this big dock shows up in activities overview.Screenshot

It would also be helpful if somecan can help me get the dock back to normal!

Note: I'm on Ubuntu 20.04

Any Help Would be Appreciated!

    And if you restart the system does it still show up? – George Udosen May 05 '20 at 23:38

    Did you manually install the official Dash to Dock GNOME Shell extension? You purged the official dock that's a part of 20.04. Go to https://extensions.gnome.org/local/ and see if you can locate Dash to Dock and delete it there. Then reinstall the official dock. – heynnema May 06 '20 at 01:02

    Restarting gnome did not help for me. This did: dconf reset -f /org/gnome/shell/extensions/dash-to-dock/ – Goblinhack Dec 09 '21 at 15:14
  • The dock in the activities overview is the default dock of Gnome. You can hide it using some extension. Just Perfection might work. – Heisenberg Dec 11 '21 at 05:25
  • After I messed Dock with Dash-to-Dock (no icons at all) dconf reset -f /org/gnome/shell/extensions/dash-to-dock/ restored all my previous settings and icons. Ubuntu 22..04.2 – Marcelo Scofano Diniz Mar 04 '23 at 19:20

I just disengaged Dash to Dock with this link.

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/307/dash-to-dock/

It had a on\off switch and mine was on and I switched it to off.
