How do I uninstall Valorant permanently?
I recently downloaded Valorant on a laptop that had no storage so I tried deleting it. It didn’t let tho, I tried deleting riot games and it said “to remove riot games in my machine” so I deleted Valorant and it said “unable to uninstall since riot games is still running” now I don’t know what to do

To permanently uninstall VALORANT and Riot Vanguard, follow these steps:
1. Close All Riot Processes: Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc), look for any Riot-related processes (RiotClientServices, VALORANT, Vanguard) and end them.
2. Uninstall VALORANT:
- Go to Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program.
- Find VALORANT in the list and select Uninstall.
3. Uninstall Riot Vanguard:
- In the same Programs list, find Riot Vanguard and uninstall it.
4. Delete Riot Games Folder:
- Navigate to the directory where Riot Games was installed (usually C:\Program Files) and delete the Riot Games folder.
5. Clean Up Registry (Optional):
- You can use a tool like CCleaner to remove any leftover registry entries.
If you still encounter issues, make sure your system isn’t running any Riot-related applications, and try restarting your computer before retrying the uninstall steps.
