Apps keep on reappearing in dock on reboot even after doing "Remove from Dock" few times.
For eg, VLC keep on reappearing on reboot (not every time though)

You have two app icons, VLC and Preview, that appear in the section of the Dock that is reserved for display of recently used apps. This section is indicated by the line separating bar seen between the Trash and Preview icons and the VLC and your VPN app.
You can quit those apps, but their icons will remain so you have quick access to those recently used apps should you wish to use them again.
You can turn the feature - the display or recently used apps - by going to System Settings > Desktop and Dock and switching the toggle for "Show suggested and recent apps in Dock".

What if I don’t have a computer does that mean someone has hacked into my stuff because that’s what it seems like I’ve been experiencing if somebody could help me with this who I would be greatly appreciated
Thank you. That is what I was looking for.
