Is there a way to remove unwanted population? (Cravers)

You can send them to star systems that are already fully populated. After a while, they simply "disappear".

I was kinda hoping for either a mod or for the devs to patch that in.

When I had the problem back then, there was no other solution to the problem. Things may be different nowadays.

If you're in an alliance you can: send them all to a single system (that is not valuable to you), then trade that system for another one from your ally. Or just use the "vacate system" option and then resettle it.
Also, you can research Privateers (military quadrant, lvl 3 tech iirc), this allows you to turn your own ships into pirates. Then you need to send cravers to a system maybe somehwere at the edge of your empire or preferrably to a system that's not connected to others by lanes, so that you don't mess with your own trade routes. In that system give your privateer ship/fleet and order to blockade it (I think you need to give this order after craver pops have already departed from source system), and then kill them for cash as they come.

Yea, I did exactly as you said the last time I played about a year ago. Found it annoying and was hoping there was a better way.

Good news, two will spawn now instead of one.

I found a curiosity that gives an ancient technology that, when queued in system production, will randomly kill one pop of that system.

So, I colonized a garbage system that had one planet to which I would send all my cravers.

It's not random, anything that targets a 'random' population will target the one that is next to grow another population.

If you are in a war, and one of your systems is being blockaded, send them there - the enemy will get rid of them for you.

As long as you don't let your planets to fully deplete, Craver pops are boosters because they give you 2x planets' FIDSI. I ship them around from new system to new system.

There is a behemoth module that restores depletion points of a system, you place 4 or 5 of them in one and the planets get restored rather quickly.

But if you must, the best way that I have found to get rid of population is to wait until your resource farming outpost becomes a colony (you take happiness penalty for 1 turn if at system cap limit) and then send all unwanted population to that system and evacuate the newly acquired system. The civil transports with the population will disappear the moment their destination system is no longer yours. Next turn. you resettle your colonizer and continue with the resource farming.

Another way, if you only need to get rid of pops from one system and are not as lazy as me, is to buy ships from market and flag them as privateers. Then, you blockade the next node they are going to traverse thru and shoot them down, you get dust that way.

Doesn't matter I'm a space racist towards Cravers. Genocide them all.

Don't laugh, most of us are. Vaulters are my personal choice and should have stayed on Arugia
