after removing the app with the help of App Cleaner & Uninstaller a folder is left
/private/var/db/KernelExtensionManagement/AuxKC/CurrentAuxKC/StashedExtensions/E6A642C4-294C-48C9-84B9-1DFE1CAC1A23/tuxera_ntfs.kext
Tried to sudo rm it, but the Operation not permitted

How can one remove it?

Went ahead with an uninstallation via the system preferences, but now I am stuck with tuxera being displayed in the "allow in the background" menu. I tried all sudo commands above and also checked the Launch folders, but could not find anything linking to tuxera. How do I get rid of it?
