Greetings ,,
I've recently downloaded and installed an app that allows me to write on
NTFS external hard disc from here :
Download NTFS-3G for Mac - Read-write NTFS filesystem driver. MacUpdate.com
but I didn't like it so I've deleted it with Appzapper
now when I search in spotlight , I don't find the NTFS app
but the problem is that when I connect the external hard disk to the mac , this messege comes on :
http://www7.0zz0.com/2010/12/23/15/499597289.jpg
when I click Abort , I don't see an icon for the external hard disk on my desktop
when I click Force , I see the icon on my desktop but it adds this file into my external hard disk :
http://www6.0zz0.com/2010/12/23/18/686202816.jpg
and inside it :

and inside it :

Back to my old 2.2GHz C2D MB after selling my MBP and wondering what my next Mac will be :)
I would install it again, and then go to the preference pane, and disable it.

Unfortunately, MacFUSE and NTFS-3G have been and remain pretty flaky. I didn't think so at first, but after having experimented with them through many different versions, I have come to the conclusion that the reliability of my data is more important than the $30 it costs to get a professionally developed solution that is reliable.

I recommend removing MacFUSE and NTFS-3G completely and replace it with Paragon's NTFS for Mac. Well worth the money (especially now that it makes R/W access to the Mac partitions from Windows possible).

Here are the uninstall instructions from the PDF
hem.bredband.net/catacombae/ntfs-3g/macntfs-3g_userguide.pdf

NTFS-3G can be easily uninstalled using the Uninstall NTFS-3G... button in the NTFS-3G preference pane, which should be available in System Preferences once you have installed the package. See section 4 for a description of the other features in the preference pane.
If this should fail for some reason, an uninstall script exists at the following location: /System/Library/Filesystems/ntfs-3g.fs/Support/uninstall-ntfs-3g.sh

Completely agree. And since the Paragon utility/driver is currently selling for $19.95, it's a great bargain.
