How to uninstall the Valorant skin changer — and Valorant itself

The changer is a single folder plus an uninstall registry key. The game itself is a two-part removal because Riot Vanguard installs separately.

Remove the skin changer

  1. Quit the changer from the system tray if it is running.
  2. Open Settings → Apps → Installed apps and locate "Valorant Skin Library".
  3. Click Uninstall and confirm the prompt.
  4. Delete the install folder if anything remains — default is C:\Program Files\VSL.
Removal touches only the changer's own folder. Your Riot inventory and VP balance remain untouched.

How to uninstall Valorant on Windows

Removing the game itself takes two passes because Riot Vanguard runs as a kernel-level service. Skipping Vanguard is why most players still see the boot-time driver after a Valorant removal.

  1. Uninstall Valorant via Settings → Apps → Installed apps → Valorant → Uninstall.
  2. Uninstall Riot Vanguard separately from the same Installed apps list.
  3. Reboot Windows to release the Vanguard driver from memory.
  4. Delete leftovers at C:\ProgramData\Riot Games for a fully clean state.

What stays behind

  • Riot Client may remain if you have other Riot games installed.
  • Local recordings and screenshots in your user folder are untouched.
  • Cloud-side account data — including any skin you actually own — is unaffected.
