There are typically 2 ways to end an application (and its running process):

• Select the Quit option by performing a right-click on the icon in the Dock;
• Open Activity Monitor, choose the application and any associated processes from the Disk button, select the "X" in the top-left corner, and then choose (Force) Quit from the pop-up menu.

You may restart your Mac in Safe Mode to halt the automatic launch, then carry out the removal properly if the target software cannot normally be closed using any of these methods.
