Unlike other applications, Valorant cannot be uninstalled directly from the Control Panel because Vanguard, the anti-cheat used by Riot Games to monitor the use of cheats in the game, always runs in the background and monitors Valorant. Therefore firstly, you need to uninstall Vanguard, and here is how to do it:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Open your Windows System Tray on the right-hand side of your screen.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    Right-click on the Riot Vanguard App.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Hower your mouse on the More option, and select Uninstall Vanguard.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Once you uninstall Vanguard, you can now uninstall Valorant by following these steps:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Open your Control Panel using the Search option.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    2. \n
