Uninstalling Paragon ExtFS software

I tried installing Paragon software to try and write to a linux partition and after 10 days the trial expired. I went to uninstall the software, but every time I restarted my machine, I still got the trial expired message. So I did some googling and there is a script to uninstall it completely found in the knowledge base, but it was way too much of a hassle. Anyway, you gotta be able to sudo to run the commands, but here they are:

rm -rf /etc/mach_init_per_user.d/trial_expired_NTFS.plist

rm -rf /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.paragon.NTFS.trial.plist

rm -rf /Applications/Paragon\ NTFS\ for\ Mac\ OS\ X

rm -rf "/Library/Application Support/NTFS for Mac OS X"

rm -rf "/Library/Application Support/Paragon"

rm -rf /Library/Application\ Support/Paragon\ NTFS\ for\ Mac\ OS\ X

rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/NTFSforMacOSX.prefPane

rm -rf /System/Library/Filesystems/ufsd_NTFS.fs
