Latest News About How To Uninstall League Of Legends

Here’s a quick, up-to-date guide to uninstall League of Legends and clean up leftovers.

Direct uninstall on Windows

• Open Settings > Apps > Apps & features.
• Find Riot Client or League of Legends, select Uninstall, and follow the prompts.
• After the main uninstall finishes, check for any Riot/LoL folders to remove manually:
  • Typical install path: C:\Riot Games
  • Delete the Riot Games folder if it still exists.

Clean up leftover files and services

• End Riot processes before uninstalling (via Task Manager: look for RiotClient, LoL, or LeagueClient and End Task).
• Remove residual Riot Client components:
  • C:\ProgramData\Riot or C:\Users\<YourUser>\AppData\Local\Riot
  • C:\Users\<YourUser>\AppData\Roaming\Riot
• Restart your PC to ensure all changes take effect.

Uninstall on macOS

• Open the Applications folder.
• Drag League of Legends (and Riot Client, if present) to the Trash.
• Empty the Trash, then remove any remaining Riot-related folders in:
  • ~/Library/Application Support/
  • ~/Library/Preferences/
  • ~/Library/Caches/

If you’re planning to reinstall, you can also run a cleanup before reinstalling:

• Reboot, then reinstall the Riot Client first, which will manage LoL installation afterward.

Notes

• Some guides emphasize checking for leftover game files in the installation directory and user profile folders; doing so ensures a truly clean uninstall.
• If you run into stubborn leftovers, a third-party uninstaller tool or a fresh user profile can help ensure no remnants remain.
