Hello again, Very Old John!  🙂

As you know, I'm not as clever as many of the other's reading here, but 
I'd like to make a suggestion.

Simply remove the Applications Icon from the Dock, then you'll not be
ably to see the ugly icon currently sitting atop of it!


A 'right click' on the Icon should provide you with options.

Good luck!

PS. Can you post an image of what your "Applications App" looks like?
	I don't appear to have one in my macOS Ventura 13.7.8
