I'd like to completely uninstall my Logitech G HUB driver. I've removed everything, rebooted, however there are still two directories left over in /Library/SystemExtensions.

SystemExtensions/069BD7E9-0781-4877-8C73-E95BD666E540/com.logi.ghub.audiooverride.dext/
SystemExtensions/16B36B72-2DF1-4245-ABA2-DD5BB8C74373/com.logi.ghub.hidfilter.dext/
SystemExtensions/069BD7E9-0781-4877-8C73-E95BD666E540/com.logi.ghub.audiooverride.dext/com.logi.ghub.audiooverride
SystemExtensions/16B36B72-2DF1-4245-ABA2-DD5BB8C74373/com.logi.ghub.hidfilter.dext/com.logi.ghub.hidfilter

How can I remove these? systemextensionsctl uninstall com.logi.ghub.hidfilter tells me
At this time, this tool cannot be used if System Integrity Protection is enabled.
This limitation will be removed in the near future.
Please remember to re-enable System Integrity Protection!
Do I really need to do this whole recovery + disable + enable thing? I mean I didn't need to do this to install it in the first place, then why do I need to do this to remove them?

---

If I need to reboot into Recovery, could I just rm -rf those folder there, or I need to do the csrutil disable, reboot, systemextensionsctl uninstall, rm -f, reboot, csrutil enable, reboot dance?

Any ideas for this? What's the recommended way to remove those SystemExtensions?
 
Yes, it's common that the user is not allowed to remove some system files, unless SIP is disabled first. That's one of the purposes for SIP--preventing changes to the system. Follow the steps that you already posted. SIP is actually a Good Thing™, so I recommend that you should re-enable SIP after you have removed those files.
 
What's the recommended way to remove those SystemExtensions?
  • Disable SIP
  • systemextensions list (you need the bundle ID)
  • systemextensions uninstall <bundelID>
  • Enable SIP (if you want, I keep SIP disabled).
