Answer

'Uncareful' is never used.

Here's a tip:

If you google a word, and the only results you get are definitions in online dictionaries, you can be confident that the word doesn't exist.  Online dictionary entries are often automatically generated from unreliable sources.

Answer

I have never heard or seen the word 'uncareful'. Use 'careless' instead.

Answer

I never heard "uncareful" in my life, but I am a very modern person. I would use "careless' as most people never heard the other one either and would assume that it was wrong.

Answer

Careless is the right way to indicate that someone is not careful. Uncareful is the same, like irresponsible or careless, but is (almost) never used in real life. Sometimes it's just easier to stick to the commonly used words and phrases :)
