Lot's of scary "sudo rm -r" statements there. You might want to abort the
script if anything fails (like those cds).
Have you run this script on a machine that doesnt' have fuse installed?
Please don't "shutdown -r now". That's really rude. Please just ask the user to
reboot.
You might also want to sprinkle a few echo statements throughout the script
(especially before the first sudo) to
let the user know what is going on.

Also - does this script work on machines that have the .dmg version of the
software installed?

To find every file the package installer creates:
lsbom /Library/Receipts/MacFUSE*/*/Archive.bom
Any removal script should probably reference this bill of materials file for
forward-compatibility.

Hi,
in addition to check if a cd was successful (as suggested by jwight) you should
be
more explicit in the file names: something like "sudo rm *mount*" is just too
broad
(you will soon or later delete something not part of Fuse0.

- Changed state: Fixed
from macfuse.
Hi,
I had a few weird problems with macfuse... dvd/cd not mounting and just general
weirdness on my 10.4 pbook. I ran the script above, but I found something that
may
need to be fixed in it
In the part where you change directories to /System/Library/Extensions and then
delete the fuse.kext file:
cd /System/Library/Extensions
sudo rm -r fusefs.kext
I found that fusefs.kext file was in the directory:
/Library/Extensions/fusefs.kext
Not the one in the script:
/System/Library/Extensions/
I am not sure if the installer put mine in the wrong dir or this something that
needs
to be fixed in the script, but I thought everyone should know.

Based on my comments above about the uninstall script, I edited it and have
reposted
it here:
<<< snip below this line -- do not include this line. The "#!/bin/bash" part
must be
first line >>>>
#!/bin/bash
# Copy this script
cd /usr/local/bin
rm sshfs
sudo rm glib*
sudo rm pkg-config
sudo rm *gettext*
sudo rm *mount*
cd /usr/local/include
sudo rm -r fuse*
sudo rm -r glib-2.0
sudo rm gettext-po.h
cd /usr/local/lib
sudo rm -r pkgconfig
sudo rm -r glib*
sudo rm -r libg*
sudo rm -r *fuse*
sudo rm -r *gettext*
cd /usr/local/share
sudo rm -r glib*
sudo rm -r gettext
# Note: revised the target dir.
# previously was this dir which was incorrect:
# cd /System/Library/Extensions
# correct dir seems to be this one:
cd /Library/Extensions
sudo rm -r fusefs.kext
cd /System/Library/Filesystems
sudo rm -r fusefs.fs
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions
# Note: Removed this line:

Actually, I have found a few other files that were not deleted when I first ran
this
script. Specifically the .dylib files in the /usr/local/lib/ dir.
Instead of running the script again, I would recommend running the shell script
posted below with this command:
find_macfuse_stuff.sh | grep -iv 'cannot open'
(of course you would have to name the script below 'find_macfuse_stuff.sh'
after you
copy and paste it into a text file)
This script will just return the files that are still installed on your
computer and
then you can go and delete them by hand one-by-one... I know it is a pain, but
some
funky things were happening with my drives after I installed macfuse, so I
wanted to
be very sure they were gone.

Will this apply to the new version for Leopard?
I noticed after running through both scripts there was still some files that
was not
removed.
I went and removed the following as well in addition
sudo rm /usr/local/sbin/mount_ntfs-3g
sudo rm -r /usr/local/share/doc/ntfs-3g
sudo rm /usr/local/share/man/man8/*ntfs-3g.8

i found the Uninstall script at
./System/Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/Support/uninstall-macfuse-core.sh
after a check with
lsbom /Library/Receipts/MacFUSE*/*/Archive.bom
after a look at the script i think it really wipe out all of this own stuff.
i've installed MacFUSE0.40

Hi
I don't understand nothing about scripts and so on.
However I have a big problem. I have a external NTFS disk. This disk was
recognized
by mac osx however it was just read mode. So I searched in the internet and I
installed MacFUSE and NTFS 3G. Nevertheless when I rebooted my macbook the NTFS
disk
wasn't detected anymore.
No I was trying to uninstall the MacFuse thing but I don't know how.
Can anyone one try to explain me how considering the fact that I don't
understand
anything about scripts and terminal?
Thank you very much
TC

You have to try to uninstall ntfs-3g package, I had the same problem, I had an
external disk with 2 partition one in fat32 and one in NTFS..., after
macfuse+ntf-3g
the ntfs partition would no more mounted...
After uninstalling (just redownload the ntfs-3g.dmg, open it and double click
uninstall script) ntfs-3g all worked perfectly... (ony in read mode..........)
but
better than nothing ;)
I hope no not have done much grammatical errors... :D (and hope that this would
be
useful).

Had no idea so much work had gone into my little script! This is why I love
open-source, a guy who can't
program recognizes a need, publishes a proof of concept, and much better
programmers jump on board and
refine it...

Please forgive my ignorance but how do you run the script.
I cut and past the script into Script Editor but got the error msg "Expected
expression but found "local""
when I try to run,save or compile it.
Also I can't seem to be able to get to
./System/Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/Support/uninstall-macfuse-core.sh
as there is no fusefs.fs in my Filesystems folder
Lastly, has anyone tried NTFS for Mac?
I found MacFuse really slow, copying 2mb by 2mb via my USB2 connection
I wonder if NTFS for Mac will be faster
Thanks

thbarnes, AnthonySiow, a few things:
1. uninstall-macfuse-core.sh is unrelated to the script pasted here. If you're
deducing that the former is based on the latter because they are deleting the
same
files, well, they *have* to be deleting the same files, isn't it?
2. uninstall-macfuse-core.sh does numerous sanity checks before deleting
things--since you're deleting as the superuser, you really should be using it
instead
of the one pasted here, which I haven't vetted, but even if it has no potential
issues, it's not a good ideas to cut-and-paste scripts and run them as root
(what if
your cut-and-paste happens to be erroneous?)
3. AnthonySiow: it's a Unix *shell* script, not an AppleScript program. You
don't run
it in the Script Editor. You run it from a command shell (such as from the
Terminal
application.)
4. On Leopard, MacFUSE installs under /Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs. On Tiger,
it's
under /System/Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs. If you don't find these directories
(depending on which OS version you are running), then it's likely that MacFUSE
isn't
installed any more--well, at least the official version of MacFUSE. In the past,
there have been several packagings of MacFUSE by several people--I only support
the
official version here.
5. MacFUSE doesn't do NTFS. ntfs-3g (a program that uses MacFUSE) does. The
slowness
or fastness of ntfs-3g isn't to do with MacFUSE. (And it can be argued that
it's not
to do with ntfs-3g either because on Linux, the same ntfs-3g would appear to be
faster.) Please look at the FAQ on this web site as to why ntfs-3g is slow on
Mac OS
X. There are faster versions of ntfs-3g available too (see
macntfs-3g.blogspot.com).

Hi SIngh
1. Thanks for educating me about running the script in Terminal rather than
Applescript
2. I have found /Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs as I'm using Leopard
3. I know uninstall-macfuse-core.sh is unrelated to the script here. I assume
uninstall-macfuse-core.sh is the
program to remove macfuse. The problem is I cannot find
uninstall-macfuse-core.sh on my system or in the
DMG file that Macfuse came with. Where can I download a copy of it?
Thanks

I have the same problem with MacFuse...getting it off my system. What did you
finally do to get rid of all the
components. I am using Leopard and a lot of the instuctions here don't point to
the right files.

>>Fire up a terminal window and do the following:

I'm grateful for this command as it removed all of the MacFUSE stuff, I think.
Shortly after installing MacFUSE I began experiencing applications crashing;
Firefox
2.0.0.14 in particular crashed upon launching 1,2 and often 3 times before I
could
use it. Running Disk Utility's Repair Permissions resulted in the sole
log comment "ACL found but not expected on "Library"."... Does anyone know what
this
is? I searched for "ACL" inside Library and found "com.apple.pkg.ACL.bom."
Since I
could not find any reference to removing the file with an install/uninstall
app, I
removed it manually. Disk Utility's Repair Permissions still reports the same
"ACL
found but not expected on "Library".
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dan O

then on terminal run
sudo -s
/Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/Support/uninstall-macfuse-core.sh

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but when I copy/paste the lines above, nothing
happens with me....
Since I installed all this cr*p, my external HD works fine but I can't seem to
able
to read FAT32 files (like my memorysticks...)
Anyone any help?

Uninstall options for both ntfs-3g and macfuse are available under their control
panels located under System Preferences > Other. You can remove the MacFuse
installer
from the System Preferences after uninstalling it by right-clicking
(alt/secondary)
on it.

Annoyingly, using the MacFuse "Remove MacFuse" option from the system prefs
says it's
removing, and when it's done macfuse 2.1.5 is still installed. I tried
rebooting and
doing it again, no luck.

Here is how I removed MacFUSE-2.0.3,2 from OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 (Can also
be used for Lion, Snow Leopard, Leopard, Etc.)
(This fixes the error: Can not find the Archive.bom for MacFUSE Core package)
(Reason? I am moving over to Fuse OS X v.2.5.5)

1. Find the /System/Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/uninstall-macfuse-core.sh
file and open it
2. Find the entry BOMFILE="$PACKAGE_RECEIPT/Contents/Archive.bom"
;;
12*)
3. 12 references the OS Version, in this case 12 = Mountain Lion
You can also use the following entries 11 = Lion, 10 = Snow Leopard, 9 =
Leopard, etc.
4. Edit/Save the uninstall-macfuse-core.sh file
5. Open Terminal
6. Run the following command
7. sudo -s /Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/Support/uninstall-macfuse-core.sh
8. The uninstaller runs and begins removing files and dirs beginning with the
one below
MacFUSE Uninstaller: Removing file: '//./Library/Application
Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Project Templates/MacFUSE'
9. Open System Preferences, Control Click on MacFUSE Preference Pane, select
remove MacFuse Preference Pane
10. Done
