Imagine having 17 yrs in game making industry but doesn't dare to put an uninstalled app into your game folder. Thank you for helping me out, now I can move on with my life, feel less toxic already...
its done intentionally
yeah... that doesnt make it any better.@@S.P.A.M
@@S.P.A.M yep same as when you about to rank up, you always miss 1-2 RR points, so you keep hanging there back and forward. Because they know if you rank up you will lose interest in playing.
absolutely disgusting how much they try to prevent you from quitting their games
X2 its unbelieve that
exactly
1:37 when I tried to do that it says that it cannot be deleted "as folder or a file in it is open in another program" How do I fix this?

Who’s here after Vanguard announcement?
🖐️Just found out that you essentially have to delete 3 Riot Game folders just to actually uninstall their client. Just wow, Riot 😃
me xDD saying goodbye to league after many years. its sad but it has to go, aint letting their Vanguard ruin my pc
Guys if anyone has a problem with it saying please uninstall all riot apps go to control panel them programs then programs and features then find valorant then uninstall riot this took me 2 hours to figure this out your welcome
you are a God sent! Thank you!
Dude! You're a life saver. Thank you so much. Riot will never see or hear from me ever again.
Mine does not work idk why
@@CeazarIan28 wdym?

You are a legend thanks you. My riot client was acting up and after I uninstleed and installed it worked properly thank you.

Same
thank you so much, i was having such a hard time trying to figure out how to delete it, it was taking up too much space, thank you so much!
I've been trying so hard to get it uninstall but it never gets anyway... But thankfully I found your video and it workeddddd.... Thank you so much ❤️
everytime i try to delete it says i cant because its open somewhere but i dont have anything open
go into your task manager and scroll until you find it, it likes to stay hidden cause they are a greedy company
same i can’t figure it out. if you do let me know
@@kylesabattini open your task manager and make sure all riot games applications are not running
lmk if you figure it out idk either
open task manager, find riot client, right click end task
None of this worked. Windows told me there were still riot games installed. When I try to uninstall Valorant, it tells me that riot client is running and won't let me uninstall. When I quit riot client, it self starts for a second when trying to uninstall Valorant. Total BS. Please update video
same dude
it's because riot client is still running. ctrl+alt+delete go find riot client then end task then go to control panel click programs then programs and features uninstall any riot games first then riot client

@@Mega___Psyduck how?
@@Mega___Psyducku have a guide I can follow through?
is should really be illegal to prevent you from deleting an app you dont want
You dont know how thankful i am for finding this video 🙏🙏
THANK YOU. These games were to boring and were taking 32 GB of my storage and there was no uninstall button. Dumb Riot!
Thanks! Completely cleans this junk away from your pc.
Good to see how popular this video is, riot killed their game years ago we we're all just hoping it got better. Terrible developers that have no idea how to optimize their game for fun as well as competitive. Just look at fortnite as a prime example on how to keep a game fun
my client took up 11,6 gigs, i deleted these files, but alltogether they were lass than 1 gig. 10 gig of trash is still on my laptop, and have no clue where to find it, absolute trash this company

A huge step forward in my life, right here.

Hey, check your task manager and 1. go to processes, 2. search for "riot client" and 3. end all background processes related to it. this might work
Mine won’t uninstall when I press delete.
same here
Bro why is it so hard to delete or uninstall. Like im.never playing their games again. I had to look up how to uninstall is ridiculous
i have 30gb of riot client on my c drive and its only 120gb when i try to uninstall it it says windows cannot find it thanks riot for taking up 1/4 of my drive and i cant even play it
