How to get rid of icons stuck on screen from macOS Launchpad

 I think this happened to me the most with Zoom.  If I accidentally dragged its icon when I tried to open it from Launchpad, the icon just oddly hung around on screen (and over all windows too).  Goes without saying it's quite annoying.  The solution here is to relaunch Dock by killing the process with this command.

killall Dock

 Restarting of course also works, but that's much less convenient.  Occasionally the Dock doesn't come back after being killed then I'd have to restart anyway, but that's quite rare thankfully.
