How tf do I uninstall this game??
I've tried everything, from uninstalling vanguard, to disabling any Riot/Valorant related processes on task manager, and yet it still says that it couldnt uninstall because the riot client is still running. This is honestly far more infuriating than what led me to want to uninstall this game. Please does someone know a solution? I want to install another game but I dont have any space left on my ssd.

It seems like the Riot Client process is still stuck and preventing the uninstallation. Here are steps you can follow:
1. Close all Riot-related processes manually:
- Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc).
- Go to the "Processes" tab.
- Look for any processes related to Riot or VALORANT (including Riot Client) and end them.
2. Attempt a restart:
- Sometimes, restarting your computer can clear any lingering processes that might be causing this issue.
3. Repeat the uninstallation process:
- Go to the "Control Panel" > "Programs" > "Uninstall a program" and try to uninstall VALORANT again.
4. Use the Riot Client Uninstaller specifically:
- Navigate to
C:\Program Files\Riot Vanguard\Uninstall.exe and run it.
- Also, check C:\Program Files\Riot Games\Riot Client\RiotClientUninstaller.exe and run it if available.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, you might need to reach out to Riot Support for further assistance.
