How to Uninstall Valorant – Say Goodbye to Agents and Spikes

So, you're done with Valorant, huh? Maybe you're tired of getting sniped by Jett or just need more space on your PC. Whatever the reason, it’s time to remove Riot’s tactical shooter from your life (or just your hard drive). Don’t worry, the process is pretty straightforward, and I’ll walk you through it. Let’s get Valorant out!

Step 1: Open Control Panel

First things first. You’ll need to head to your Control Panel. Just type "Control Panel" in your Windows search bar and hit Enter. Easy-peasy.

Step 2: Go to “Programs and Features”

Once you're in the Control Panel, click on "Programs and Features." This is where all your installed software is listed. Scroll through and look for Valorant.

Step 3: Uninstall Riot Vanguard First

Before Valorant goes bye-bye, Riot Vanguard has to leave. You’ll see it listed as "Riot Vanguard." Select it, hit "Uninstall," and let it do its thing. This anti-cheat software is tied directly to Valorant, so it needs to go first.

Step 4: Uninstall Valorant

Now that Riot Vanguard is gone, time for the main event. Find "Valorant" in the list, click on it, and choose "Uninstall." Follow the prompts, and boom, it’s gone.

Step 5: Clean Up the Leftovers (Optional)

Feeling a little extra? You can go into your file explorer and delete any leftover Valorant or Riot Games folders if they weren’t already cleared out. Just look for them under "C:\Riot Games" and send them to the trash.

Bonus Tip: Check Your Free Space

After uninstalling, check how much space you freed up! You might even want to defrag your drive or do a quick disk cleanup.

Step 6: Reboot (Optional)

You can restart your PC to fully clear out any running processes related to Valorant and Riot Vanguard. It’s not necessary, but hey, fresh starts are nice, right?

Conclusion

And that’s it! You've successfully uninstalled Valorant from your PC. Whether you’re switching to a new game or just clearing space, this quick guide has got you covered. No more plants, defuses, or intense clutch moments – unless you reinstall it, of course!
