I cannot remove an item with Finder because it says that the app is open but there is no way to close it. I am sick of Skype asking me to update and I do not want the install OS Monterey on my computer.

Third party apps that you simply drag & drop into your Applications folder (or into an alias ) typically have no installer.
Follow the developer ref linked above.
Skype is a drag & drop..
Third party apps that have an official "installer" that you have to: click through, agree to, and require your psswd to install—typically have a build-in official "uninstaller."
Usually found in the >Preference pane, >About info, or the >Package Content folder.

Troubleshooting App Deletion Errors:
Reinstall the App, and then attempt another install. If you just drag-&-drop it into the trash, then it may become corrupt. Note that some applications (i.e. Security Software) require an Uninstaller to be used to successfully delete it in full. So, ask the Developer if this is needed.
