Uninstall DockUtil

Dockutil worked for me today on a brand new Big Sur Intel laptop. I'll be testing it with M1 in a day or two.

I believe when I had to uninstall dockutil years ago I just ran a policy with a one-liner in Files & Processes;

rm /path-to-dockutil/dockutil

I also have found dockutil to work fine in Big Sur.

It's usually just a single executable. You might look in /usr/local/bin.

My issue is the .sh script which worked perfectly fine in macOS Big Sur 11.3.1 yields different results in macOS Big Sur 11.4

#!/bin/sh
echo "Adding Applications Folder..."
    sudo -u $LoggedInUser /usr/local/bin/dockutil --add '/Applications' --view grid --display folder --sort name --no-restart $LoggedInUserHome
    echo "Adding User Downloads Folder..."
    sudo -u $LoggedInUser /usr/local/bin/dockutil --add '~/Downloads' --view grid --display folder --allhomes --no-restart $LoggedInUserHome

Here’s a small script to delete dockutil. You need to remove the package receipts also
 

if [[ -e "/var/db/receipts/dockutil.cli.tool.bom" ]] || [[ -e "dockutil.cli.tool.plist" ]]; then
	echo "receipt files found"
	rm /var/db/receipts/dockutil.cli.tool.*
fi

if [[ -e /usr/local/bin/dockutil ]]; then
	echo "dockutil binary found, removing"
	rm /usr/local/bin/dockutil
fi
