Hi Conor,
I tried by using both sudo and without sudo. Both of them don't work in Mavericks.
Earlier, the logic was to delete the icon entry from the com.apple.dock.plist file using plistbuddy and to kill the dock. After the dock restarted, it had the icons for which an entry was present in that plist.
Now, even if the entry gets deleted from that plist, after restarting dock, changes are not reflected. Is dock referring to some other place as well, some cache or any other file?

Thanks,
Vikram
