So, I'm trying to find a way to remove a previously user-approve KEXT from a machine.
The /var/db/SystemPolicyConfiguration/KextPolicy database is read-only and likely protected by SIP anyway - so, deleting a row out of this wouldn't work.
Has anyone found a way to do this?

Run the following as an admin through Terminal:
sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/{ThirdParty}.kext
Or if that doesn't work, you can use
sudo kextunload /Library/Extensions/{ThirdParty}.kext
Make sure that the KEXT is not being used and it should be unloaded that way. Then verify its been unloaded through kextstat or the /var/db/SystemPolicyConfiguration/KextPolicy
Unfortunately, I don't believe this has worked. To my knowledge, the KEXT that I have in my approved KEXT list is not loaded. However, it still shows up in the kext_policy table in the KextPolicy db.
