HoloLens: How do I recover an app's landing page that got overtaken by spatial mapping?

Here's what I mean:

I placed an app's landing page prior to it figuring out the spatial mapping. But now that the spatial mapping is in the way, I can no longer close the app! This has happened to me a few times now. The only workaround that I have found is to uninstall the app completely from the HoloLens and install it again. This would be a pain if I had downloaded this app from the store and had to re-download it.

Is there any way to get to this app and close it without uninstalling it?

Thanks,
Tam

    or say "Hey Cortana, Move [app name] here". Also, you can open another window, select to move and every hologram/window will be highlighted to move. You should be able to grab your window or resize it enough to grab the middle.

    Go to settings and find the room that corresponds to this space. Delete the room data and it will remove all placed apps.
