Using the Paragon driver under Yosemite I had no problem deleting/creating partitions in Disk Utility.

After the upgrade to El Capitan for at least one of my drives it no longer works. (And the fact that you can't resize or reallocate window space in the Disk Utility window is a real problem when using long disk names).

So I have a 4 TB drive which has 2 x 2 TB partitions:

Notice that "partition" is greyed out even though the Paragon NTFS driver is loaded. And I can't mount either of the two logical drives as Disk Utility doesn't see them. However they are seen by diskutil:

/dev/disk2 (external, physical):

#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER

0: FDisk_partition_scheme *4.0 TB disk2

1: Windows_NTFS Sg4TbMs1 2.0 TB disk2s1

2: Windows_NTFS Sg4TbMs2 2.0 TB disk2s5



Even more confusing is if I use the Paragon Hard Disk Manager Beta where the volume was converted from MBR to GPT:

but if I restart the Paragon Hard Disk Manager it sees the old partitions:
