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?

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
