# How do I remove the Storage Studio icon from my Dock?

Open the Apps window and turn off the **Show in Dock** switch at the top-right. Storage Studio goes back to living only in the menu bar.

The Dock icon only appears because that switch was turned on; nothing else changes when you turn it off. The [global shortcut](https://storagestudio.us/faq/apps/how-do-i-open-the-apps-grid-with-a-keyboard-shortcut) still opens the grid.
