In the next step we access the directory where the Riot application is installed, which if we have not modified it is called Riot Games and we delete the Valorant folder with all contents found inside.
The third and final step is to remove the changes that the Riot client made to the registry. Inside the Windows Registry
This folder is at the following address that we leave you below and that you can paste into the application to access it directly.
Computer/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Uninstall/Riot Game valorant.live
