Latest News About How To Uninstall League Of Legends

Here’s a quick, up-to-date guide to uninstall League of Legends (LoL) cleanly.

Direct answer

• Yes, you can uninstall LoL and its Riot Client, plus remove leftover files for a clean slate. Below are step-by-step methods for Windows and macOS, including common pitfalls and how to verify complete removal.

Windows (10/11)

• Exit all Riot/LoL processes: close the Riot Client and LoL if running.
• Uninstall the game:
  • Open Settings > Apps > Apps & features (or Control Panel > Programs and Features).
  • Find League of Legends (and Riot Client if present) and choose Uninstall. Follow prompts.
• Remove leftover files (common locations):
  • C:\Riot Games (delete the League of Legends folder if present)
  • C:\Riot Games\League of Legends (nested leftovers)
  • %LOCALAPPDATA%\Riot Games (clear any Riot or LoL folders)
  • %PROGRAMFILES%\Riot Games (check and delete if any remnants)
• Optional: clean registry entries (advanced):
  • Open Registry Editor and search for Riot/League of Legends entries, then back up and delete relevant keys carefully.
• Reboot your PC after cleanup to finalize removal.

macOS

• Quit all related processes and ensure Riot Client is closed.
• Move to Trash:
  • Applications/League of Legends and Riot Client to Trash.
• Remove support files:
  • ~/Library/Application Support/League of Legends
  • ~/Library/Preferences/com.riotgames.LeagueofLegends.plist
  • ~/Library/Caches/com.riotgames.LeagueofLegends
• Empty Trash and restart if desired.

Troubleshooting tips

• If uninstall wizard stalls, end tasks in Task Manager (Windows) and retry uninstalling.
• If Riot Client remains after LoL removal, uninstall Riot Client separately and delete its folders as above.
• For stubborn leftovers, use a dedicated cleanup tool or search for “LoL,” “League of Legends,” and “Riot” across Program Files, Program Files (x86), and AppData folders to delete any stray items.

What to do next

• If you plan a reinstall, keep your account and patches handy, and download the latest setup from Riot’s official site.
• If you’re troubleshooting performance or errors, consider a repair instead of a full reinstall, and ensure your OS and drivers are up to date.
