Why can't I delete Valorant off my computer? I tried the official Riot Client but it won't launch on my Windows 11 PC, so I can't uninstall Valorant the normal way. I need to delete the game complete...

If you are planning to uninstall Valorant on PC without Riot Client, it's important to properly terminate related processes like "Terminate Valorant and Riot Client Processes" to ensure a clean removal.
Here's why and how:
- Valorant runs multiple processes, including those associated with Riot Client.
- Prior to uninstalling, stopping these processes prevents issues like files being in use, which can cause incomplete uninstallation or errors.
- To uninstall Valorant on PC without Riot Client, you should first manually terminate all Valorant and Riot Client processes using Task Manager or a command prompt.
Steps:
1. Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc).
2. Look for processes like:
- Valorant.exe
- RiotClientServices.exe
- RiotClient.exe
- RiotClientUx.exe
3. Select each process and click End Task.
4. Alternatively, you can use command line:
- taskkill /F /IM Valorant.exe
- taskkill /F /IM RiotClientServices.exe
- taskkill /F /IM RiotClient.exe
- taskkill /F /IM RiotClientUx.exe
5. After terminating all related processes, proceed with uninstalling Valorant via Add or Remove Programs in Windows.
Note: Terminating these processes ensures that you can uninstall Valorant on PC without Riot Client properly, avoiding issues like leftover files or registry entries.
