How do you remove macOS 10.16 listed on NTFS for Mac Menu after updating MacBook Air to Mac OS X 11.6.1

Hi Tucathome,

macOS 10.16 is actually macOS Big Sur, which in reality is macOS 11.

Some apps may use older APIs (calls to the system or other apps), which will return "macOS 10.16" in order to remain compatible with how the app works. The developer (Paragon) might need to update their apps to use the newer APIs, which should return "macOS 11" or "macOS 11.6.1".

There shouldn't be anything you have to do on your end in this situation - it's an issue that Paragon needs to fix.

Apparently, unbeknownst to you, somebody installed an app.

NTFS (New Technology File System) is a Microsoft Windows exclusive file format.

Please explain further what "remove macOS 10.16 listed on NTFS for Mac Menu" means. Apples don't "use" NTFS. Macs can see an NTFS drive, or partition, but it takes an app not native to Macs to actually do anything with NTFS.
