How to Uninstall League of Legends

Unlike, say, Steam, uninstalling League of Legends takes a bit of legwork. It’s easy, but very tedious. It involves using Windows’ Control Panel. Here’s what you do:

  1. Open the Start menu.

    It’s located in the bottom-left corner. You may also open it using the Windows key.

  2. While the Start menu is open, type “Control Panel” and it will automatically search for it.

    Select it from the search results.

  3. Under “Programs” click “Uninstall a program.”

  4. Locate League of Legends, highlight it, then choose “Uninstall.”

    Keep in mind that once you click Uninstall, the process will automatically happen without your input. All related files will be removed, except saved replays. Those are found in Documents > League of Legends > Replays.

It should be noted that uninstalling League of Legends will not uninstall the Riot Games Client. So, if you play Valorant or any other Riot Games titles, they’ll still be available to play. You can always return to League of Legends via the Riot Games Client and simply reinstall.

Now that you know how to uninstall League of Legends, it might be time to move onto a new obsession. There are fantastic titles available for Xbox Cloud Gaming that are begging for your attention. Maybe you want to catch up on movies instead, in which case check out Twinfinite’s top 10 best Stephen King horror movies.
