How can I close an app that's locked and stays on until I reboot?

[Android Central Question]

When I close certain apps they don't close and have a lock on the upper right corner in the open apps list. I haven't found a way to open the lock so I can stop the app. The only way I've found is to reboot the system.

Are they locked to recently used apps?

Welcome to Android Central! In the App Overview what happens if you tap that lock or long-press it?
