I've installed North Pole Santa but I can't uninstall Google Santa.

Dragging the app icon to the trash bin doesn't work. I get the following pop up messages.

The application “Santa” is hosting system extensions. These extensions will be removed if you continue.

Once I click continue I get the following pop up messages.

The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.

For manual uninstalls like this, you likely first need to ensure the UI process isn't running. Try the following command first:

launchctl remove com.google.santa

Once complete, then drag the application to trash.

(Edit: changed the launchctl label)
