Hi all, this started when I uninstalled Paragon NTFS for Mac. Ever since I've uninstalled it, I've had trouble with NTFS drives - they do not show up at all with Disk Utility or in the Finder. I've already done a reinstall of macOS. Is there any way to restore normal functionality?

Normally, an External Drive Formatted to a Windows NTFS Partition Map can be Read but can not be written to it.
You may consider from the Apple Link below to Reformat the Whole Drive.
If to be used between Windows and macOS Computer, use the exFat Partition Map.
It is more robust that the Fat 32

Building on the good advice from previous Poster
Find Any File (FAF) link may help find the residual Paragon files and offer the actual Location of where the files(s) are located
Just use the words associated with the software in question.
It could be that you didn’t fully uninstall paragon. Those programs are known to prevent mounting of the drivers when they no longer work with the current OS.
