How to Reset Dock OS X to Default

Dock is one of the most important features in OS X. It allows you to place your application icons as a shortcut so that you can open them quickly when needed. Usually Mac users put so many application icons on the dock, but there is time when you want to reset it to default. Because there is no reset button for this action, you need to do it through the Terminal app by writing a command. Check the steps by Tutorial Elex below:
