I feel so annoyed by the fact that riot made it so hard for us to remove it out of our system. thanks a lot dude I am pretty sure the last time i delete this, it was not properly done
For anyone who is still having trouble with it not letting you delete/uninstall the riot games client, vanguard client, and whatever games you have for it… go to task manager and end the riot games client running in the back ground then delete everything. That worked for me because I tried literally every thing else before I did that. Should work for anyone having the same trouble I did.
Super useful. Riot Games Client makes it really difficult to get rid of. It also prevented me from uninstalling League and Valorant until I had it fully exited out of. Really silly. Cleaned up entire PC just to get rid of League and Valorant. This is some sloppy work by Riot if it isn't malicious to make it this difficult to get rid of their sofware. Hell, just look at Vanguard and how deep it embeds itself.
@@mrkiler3271i went ahead and went to riot client and setting -> disable the "run client on start" (i dont remember what its called because i unistalled it never doenloading it again) something similar to that. It is goddamn shit to take care of.

hey! can you help me? I just started playing valo like 2 weeks ago it really went smoothly at first but like these days my pc started lagging idk what to do. pls
I tried to uninstall the riot client file in "run" but its says that "this action cant be completed bcs the folder or a file in it is open in another program" . Idk what file is open so idk how to fix it. And which file should i remove first? Anyone could please help?
How has no one ever talked about this? This game launcher makes itself out to act as if it were a worm in your computer! Installing itself in multiple locations and no uninstall option makes it a very malicious program. Before finding your video, I was beginning to believe I downloaded the wrong installer. Every time I deleted the program I would reset my system and the shortcut and Hidden Icons would always just have Riot PUNCHING me in the face for trying to delete them. Thanks for the vid and I'll update this comment if they punch me again. But for now, so far so good.😅
WAIT I FIGURED IT OUT. For some people this doesn’t work. What you have to do is go into valorant and go to settings. Once there change start when pc is booted to off. Restart your pc and then do this tutorial.
So they've purposely prevented people removing it from the control panel? This should be made illegal. It also kept auto starting even when I set it to off. Bloatware.
I NEED HELP SOMEONE I WAS ABLE TO DELETE 1 FILE BUT IT WONT LET ME DELETE THE OTHER TWO IT KEEPS SAYING "the action can't be completed because the folder or file is open in another program" WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
@@saishreekrishna8098 thank you very much, but I actually deleted it. What I did was to restart the computer, and then quickly do the steps that was provided in the video.
I can't even delete the folder because it gives me an error saying, "The action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program." How can I find out about the "other program"? Any suggestions or anyone here having a similar issue? EDIT: I manage to delete all of those files (due to using a task manager to fix that issue), but another issue arises. In my settings, I came across in my app that I still see Riot Client and Valorant, but every time I try to uninstall there, the error message pops up saying, "Windows cannot find 'C:\Riot Games\Riot Client\RiotClientServices.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again." It does on this other file of Valorant as well, same similar error message.
I had the same issue, then I looked at my home bar, look at the little arrow pointing up on the bar, you might see a riot games program, press exit, boom.
Thx Bro, going back to the gym now. Not letting people telling me i m shit. And not having people telling me to kill myself, guess what they wont do it on the real life. No one never does its easier to find nice people out there than in this trash people farm app.
Well there a problem. Some of the file in Riot client won't let me delete cause it say file open in another folder or something but there literally nothing else!
when i try to delete the folder it says "cannot be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program" and i dont got nothing else open but youtube and file explorer
Yo i have a problem, even if i uninstall those, when trying to uninstall the valorant, or league it says that the file is not found, so i cannot unninstal none of them
TYSM. with the help you,I managed to delete it fully and I have 254 GB storage now Also You Need Process Hacker 2 To do this (Maybe) becasue the riot cilent has a software called "RiotCilentCrash" something like that since that was working you cant delete the files and so,with process hacker you can terminate the "RiotCilentChrashHandler" And so you can delete every file Hope it helped
I can't even delete the folder. It says "The action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program." I tried restarting my pc and still the same.
Thank you bro I been trying to uninstall it for like 10 mins it's like a virus but I find this and it's very helpful thank you. I don't know why riot games make there games so hard to uninstall like why
great video! never ever installing any of their games again. Absolutely asinine that you can't uninstall their program or that they make it extremely difficult to do so.
Took me a while to understand why the riot games client was so terrible, its because its entire purpose is to be hard to remove from your computer, once they achieved that, having any kind of minimal expectation user experience is out of the question. Hell, this soul less abomination working properly is (not even surprisingly) something tht just does not matters at all, and it shows.
i have a solution: 1. disconnect your computer's internet connection (and turn off "connect automatically") 2. restart your computer 3. there should be a riot notification saying "no internet found" 4. press retry (it'll will pop back up again after a few seconds) 5. press exit 6 go to "Programs and Features" 7. select your riot games (such as Lol, Valorant, etc) and uninstall them first 8. select Riot Games and uninstall DO WAIT FOR A FEW SECONDS UNTIL THE UNINSTALL PROCESS IS COMPLETE FOR 7 AND 8. (be SURE to DISCONNECT your computer's internet during al these steps)
Thank fuck I found this. Riot can't design an uninstall button so they had to have us (the consumer) go about the most arbitrary way just to uninstall it.
So why do I have to do this just to uninstall this app? It's just so annoying every time you have clear space, and these only apps just refuse to be uninstall the easy way.
I deleted all the files and all of its parts, but the data is still stuck on the drive, it still operates to tell me i can't get rid of it. Saying I have to delete the game to delete the client, then it tells me I can't delete the game because the client is still running.
Honestly RIOT client is like VIRUS. Its totally unacceptable that you cant even uninstall it in a normal way.
i was wondering how is that even legal. wtf.
is riot at American or Chinese company?
