Thanks for the report, it will be fixed in 4.35. Sorry for the convenience.
@samuelboland I experienced the same today, and found this issue. My fix was to just delete the entire Docker app folder /Applications/Docker.app/, by just deleting the Docker app from Applications. Then I ran the commands listed on the Docker website about uninstalling.
rm -rf ~/Library/Group\ Containers/group.com.docker
rm -rf ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker
rm -rf ~/.docker
Worked for me.
You can delete if directly from docker desktop UI
after that Empty Trash so that icon disappears from Launchpad
