Can't clear some apps after 6.0 upgrade

After a recent upgrade to Android 6.0, when I go to the list of open apps, there are now three that cannot be closed: Google Maps, YouTube and Gmail. Is there a way to remove these from the list? The most annoying one is Gmail, because I don't use it, and it's just clutter in my apps list. What up?
