Try following these steps to uninstall VALORANT and the Riot Client:
1. Close Background Processes: Make sure all Riot-related processes are closed. Open Task Manager, look under the "Processes" tab, and end any processes related to Riot or VALORANT.
2. Use Control Panel: Sometimes, using the traditional Control Panel method can help.
- Open Control Panel.
- Go to "Programs and Features."
- Find VALORANT and Riot Vanguard in the list, right-click, and select "Uninstall."
3. Run the Riot Uninstaller: Navigate to the directory where Riot Games is installed (usually
C:\Riot Games) and look for an uninstaller executable. Run it directly.
4. Safe Mode: Restart your computer in Safe Mode and try uninstalling VALORANT and Riot Vanguard.
5. Third-Party Uninstaller: Use a third-party uninstaller like Revo Uninstaller to remove any stubborn programs. These tools are often more thorough.
If these steps don't work, you might need to contact Riot Support for further assistance.
