How to uninstall the Valorant skin changer — and how to uninstall Valorant itself

Both removals are short. The skin changer is a single folder plus one uninstall key. The game itself is a two-part removal because Riot Vanguard installs separately.

Remove the Valorant skin changer

  1. Quit the changer from the system tray if it is running.
  2. Open Settings → Apps → Installed apps and find "Valorant Skin Changer".
  3. Click Uninstall and confirm the prompt.
  4. Delete the install folder if it remained — usually C:\Program Files\VSC.
Nothing about the changer touches the Riot client, so this removal does not affect the game, your inventory or your rank.

How to uninstall Valorant on Windows

Removing the game is a two-step job because Riot Vanguard runs as a separate kernel service. Skipping the Vanguard step is the most common reason people think the client is gone but still see the boot-time driver.

  1. Uninstall Valorant via Settings → Apps → Installed apps → Valorant → Uninstall.
  2. Uninstall Riot Vanguard separately from the same Installed apps list.
  3. Reboot Windows so the Vanguard driver is fully released from memory.
  4. Delete leftovers in C:\ProgramData\Riot Games if you want a fully clean state.

What stays behind

  • The Riot Client may remain installed — it manages your other Riot games.
  • Local match recordings and screenshots in your user folder are not removed.
  • Cloud save data and your account are untouched by either uninstall.
