Just click on the icon, maintain the pressure and drag to wherever you want. To lose the item, release the pressure half way up the screen. It will disappear in a puff of smoke. Make sure you don't do this with Apps integral to the system.


On the other hand, If the app has a small arrow attached, it is an alias and providing you have another in your applications folder, that can go to.

Don't know how this could have happened spontaneously, but it may be the Dock has become locked.


Open Terminal in Utilities and copy/paste to unlock the Dock.


defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool false;killall Dock


Then hit return.


It might be you'll first have to lock it in order to unlock it. So if the above doesn't work, substitute "true" for "false," then run the original command above with "false" once again.
