Completely uninstall and remove Tuxera NTFS on MacOS (resets trial version)

remove_tuxera.sh

sudo rm -rf /Applications/Tuxera\ Disk\ Manager.app
sudo rm -rf /Library/Application\ Support/Tuxera\ NTFS
sudo rm -rf /Library/Filesystems/fusefs_txantfs.fs

So using trash (see previous post) this would be a safer alternative (Warning, haven't tried this yet**):

launchctl unload /Library/LaunchAgents/com.tuxera.ntfs.agent.plist
sudo trash -Fv /Applications/Tuxera\ Disk\ Manager.app
sudo trash -Fv /Library/Application\ Support/Tuxera\ NTFS
sudo trash -Fv /Library/Filesystems/fusefs_txantfs.fs
sudo trash -Fv /Library/LaunchAgents/com.tuxera.ntfs.agent.plist
sudo trash -Fv /Library/PreferencePanes/Tuxera\ NTFS.prefPane
sudo trash -Fv /Library/Preferences/com.tuxera.NTFS.plist

Note that trash puts folders into the trash as well and recursion is implied with that.
Of course you can also use open for the paths and delete the files and folders manually.

** I successfully used all line by line on an old disk, after having installed brew and trash, and the only downside is I had to reauthorize Finder for each line. Skip the F if you want to avoid that.

/usr/local/sbin/mount_tuxera_ntfs
/usr/local/sbin/newfs_tuxera_ntfs

there is also theses files

EDIT: Someone posted this above, but I hadn't seen it.

For versions >= 2018 they recommend:

sudo /Library/Filesystems/tuxera_ntfs.fs/Contents/Resources/Support/uninstall-package.sh

@gholker I repeat my answer to the "someone" "@h3ct0rjs, well, there was a reason this sh file here was created and that was, I believe, that the Tuxera uninstall, that you point to, did not delete everything for whatever reason".

Did you verify that uninstall-package.sh did also remove all the files and folders people have posted since 2020? If so, why not mention it? If not, why post what is already here?

nice, this works. that sucker is not enabling the uninstall button

This is also needed:

launchctl unload /Library/LaunchAgents/com.tuxera.ntfs.agent.plist
sudo rm -rf /Library/LaunchAgents/com.tuxera.ntfs.agent.plist
sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/Tuxera\ NTFS.prefPane
sudo rm -rf /Library/Preferences/com.tuxera.NTFS.plist

then my mac settings -> unable to load java panel
