Hi! noob question: is that a code? should i copy and paste all those lines in some kind of mac DOS?

You save my life! I have been trying to find a way. Thanks very much!

In your terminal, yep. Just press cmd + spacebar and type terminal, then copy and paste those lines into the terminal window.
The .sh suffix to the filename indicates that it's a shell script i.e. Bash in Mac.

The latest Paragon NTFS has an uninstall driver which goes together with an installer driver on the DMG file (installation Disk Image). You can use Paragon NTFS uninstaller to remove this app from your Mac. Guess it could bring more thorough clean result.

Thank you!

@sjtugaoman try rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.paragon-software.ntfs.notification-agent ~/Library/Caches/com.paragon-software.ntfs.fsapp ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.paragon-software.ntfs.fsapp ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.paragon-software.ntfs.notification-agent

Thank you very much.!

Thanks a lot! 👊

Thank you mister Seven -- nothing else would make those pop-ups go away on my mbp. =`:^>

I can confirm this works, thanks!

good gawd thank you so much.

Thanks!
you save me when I was floating with broken search and spotlight

Thanks

Strangely enough, many very expensive programs were solved, but this $ 20 application failed…

Anyone else have lingering files still in: /Library/StagedExtensions/Library/Application Support/Paragon Software/

btw, you can download NTFS fro mac for free from Seagate:
https://www.seagate.com/de/de/support/software/paragon/

Thank you all.
This one does the trick on the fly.
All you need is to press button "Activate".

Lines for terminal:

sudo killall FSApp
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.paragon-software.ntfsd.plist
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.paragon-software.installer.plist
sudo rm -rf "/Library/Application Support/Paragon Software/.config"
sudo rm -rf "/Library/Application Support/Paragon Software/.support"
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.paragon-software.ntfsd.plist
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.paragon-software.installer.plist
sudo launchctl start com.paragon-software.ntfsd
sudo launchctl start com.paragon-software.installer

NTFS for mac is free as mentioned by SerguySev. Thanks for sharing.

The Seagate version is "free" but gives read-only mounts.

thanks

Thank you in all languages!
