Uninstalling "open" applications

I want to uninstall an application - Google Drive.

I have tried both for Launch Pad & Finder. Neither method works and they claim the application is running and needs to be closed first. But I cannot find a way of doing this. "Google Drive" does not appear of the list of apps that I can "Force Quit".

So I am stuck

You can force quit from the Activity Monitor.app if you are having an issue.
