A free utility for NTFS writing on Mac OS X 10.6.5?
I have a 1TB external hard drive that I think is formatted for Windows (NTFS?) but I have a Mac.
Right now I can view the data on there but I can't delete any of it.
Is there something I can do to be able to change the format to be able to delete stuff without removing any data and totally reformatting the external hard drive?

Just install NTFS-3g for OS X on your Mac and be done with it. It's a read/write NTFS driver for your Mac.

NTFS-3G has been working for me for over a year. Seems very stable and easy to install. – viking – 2011-06-20T19:36:26.227

There is NTFS-3G for OS X, which is a Freeware driver that allows you to also write to NTFS-formatted volumes.
Caution: Use at your own risk.
