Uninstalling League of Legends

The method for uninstalling League of Legends (LoL) depends on your operating system.

Windows

  1. Using the Control Panel:

    • Close the League of Legends client and any related processes (Riot Vanguard, etc.) in the system tray.
    • Open the Control Panel. You can usually find it by searching in the Windows search bar.
    • Select "Programs" or "Programs and Features".
    • Find "League of Legends" or "Riot Games" in the list of installed programs.
    • Click "Uninstall" and follow the on-screen prompts. This should remove the main game files.
    • You may need to uninstall Riot Vanguard separately if it's still installed.
  2. Using the Windows Settings App:

    • Close the League of Legends client and related processes.
    • Open the Settings App (Windows key + I).
    • Go to "Apps" and then "Apps & Features".
    • Find "League of Legends" or "Riot Games".
    • Click "Uninstall" and follow the prompts.
    • Uninstall Riot Vanguard separately if present.
  3. Deleting Remaining Files (Important):

    • After uninstalling, there may be leftover files and folders. Navigate to the location where you originally installed League of Legends (usually C:\Riot Games\League of Legends).
    • Delete any remaining League of Legends folders.
    • Also, check the C:\Riot Games folder and delete any remaining folders there if you no longer have any Riot Games products installed.
    • You can also search for "Riot Games" in your C: drive to find other possible folders or files and delete them.
  4. Registry Entries (Optional, Use Caution):

    • Warning: Modifying the Registry can be risky if you're not comfortable with it. Incorrect changes can cause system instability.
    • Open the Registry Editor (type "regedit" in the Windows search bar).
    • Search for any remaining League of Legends or Riot Games entries and delete them. (Edit -> Find, and search for 'Riot Games' or 'League of Legends'. Press F3 to continue searching and delete the entries you find.)
    • Back up the registry before making any changes.

  4. Remove Remaining Files (Important):

    • Open Finder and press Cmd + Shift + G to open the "Go to Folder" dialog.
    • Enter ~/Library/Application Support/ and press Go.
    • Look for a folder named "Riot Games" or "League of Legends" and delete it.
    • Repeat the above step for /Library/Application Support/ (without the ~).
    • Also search for any files related to League of Legends or Riot Games in ~/Library/Caches and /Library/Caches.
  5. Check other Library folders:

  • Administrator Privileges: You may need administrator privileges to uninstall the game and delete some of the files.
  • Reinstalling: If you plan to reinstall League of Legends, restarting your computer after uninstalling can help ensure a clean installation.
