Please refer screenshot, I installed "Dash to Panel" gnome extension so that my dash and top panel appear in single unit. But the left side default dock is still there. How can I remove the left side dock? Thanks.

Run the following:
cd /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
sudo mv ubuntu-dock@ubuntu.com{,.bak}
Press ALT + F2 and type r in the input.
In case if you need to undo:
cd /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
sudo mv ubuntu-dock@ubuntu.com{.bak,}
You may use a GNOME shell extension called "Hide Dash X" to achieve your goal.
Other alternative extensions:
Simply removing gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock would not get rid of the GNOME dash. The dash is a default feature of GNOME shell. It only in appears Activities overview or Applications overview ("Show Applications" screen).
The gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock package is an Ubuntu-only modification (a fork of the Dash to Dock extension), which converts the dash into a customisable dock. The dock appears anywhere, not just in Activities or Applications overview, and also has some other extra features.
So removing the package would only remove the dock-like feature, but the dash will stay as it is since it's an inbuilt feature of GNOME shell.
Best Answer
Just disable the extension "Ubuntu Dock" in tweak tools.
Probably, in tweak tools, that extension will appear not to be turned on. In that case, click twice on the toggle: once to turn it on and a second time to turn it of again. After that, the dock will be disabled.
