Q: Cannot delete from applications folder

Having a problem deleting any app from the Applications folder. I'm using El Capitan 10.11.6.

 

If I try and drag any application to trash or Command-delete, I get the message "The item 'whatever' can't be moved to the Trash because some of its extensions are in use".

 

I can delete if I use Option-Command-Delete and enter my password.

 

So far I've tried:

 

Restarting

First aid in Disk Utility

Same but from recovery mode

Repairing permissions through terminal

Checked that the app doesn't actually have any processes running

Opened app contents and deleted plugins.

 

Any ideas?
