Before you begin the uninstallation process, there are a few things you need to do to make sure the process goes smoothly. First, make sure that you have logged out of the Riot client and any associated games. This will ensure that no files are in use during the uninstallation process.
Next, check to see if any other Riot programs or services are running in the background. To do this, open Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc. Look for any programs with “Riot” or “LoL” in the name and right-click to end the task.

Even after you have uninstalled the Riot client using the Control Panel, there may be leftover files and folders on your computer that need to be removed manually. These files can take up valuable disk space and cause issues with other programs.
To remove the leftover files and folders, search for “Riot” or “LoL” in your file explorer and delete any files or folders that are related to the Riot client. Some common locations for leftover files include the AppData and Program Files folders.
E. Step 4: Final steps and verification of uninstallation
After you have deleted all leftover files and folders, restart your computer to make sure that any remaining processes are stopped and no other files are in use.
Finally, verify that the Riot client has been completely uninstalled by checking the list of installed programs in the Control Panel. If you no longer see Riot client in the list, then the uninstallation process was successful.
