Uninstalling the Riot Client
The Riot Client can be uninstalled with minimal effort. To do this, first close all Riot games, such as Valorant or League of Legends, and the client itself.
- Next, open Settings from the Start menu. Navigate to the Apps sub-section.
- Before uninstalling the Riot Client, you must remove all Riot games. Uninstall all games from this developer via Apps and Features.
- You can then uninstall the Riot Client. You can find it via the search bar or by scrolling down to the programme.
Permanently delete the Riot Client
After uninstallation, there will still be remnants of the Riot Client left on your hard drive.
- Locate the Riot Client’s installation directory. This is usually on the main hard drive C:. If you have installed the Riot Client on a different hard drive, switch to that drive.
- Look for the Riot Games folder. Open it and you should then find the “Riot Client.old” folder.
- Delete the entire Riot Games folder, including the ‘Riot Client.old’ subfolder. Then empty the Recycle Bin, and the uninstallation is complete.
