We press Command + Space To open Spotlight, then enter the Activity Monitor Keyword to open this utility. Next, select the suspended apps that you want to turn off with the red icon, and then press the X letter icon on the upper left corner of the app.

6. Use Terminal and Kill Command

Next type q, then type sudo kill -9 PID (replace PID with the number of the app) to turn off the suspended app.
