Removing Roblox on Windows 11 isn’t too tricky, but it can feel a bit clunky how the process isn’t dead easy. Basically, you can do it via the Settings or the Control Panel, but sometimes Windows likes to make it more complicated than it needs to be. The aim here is to get rid of Roblox completely, including any leftover files or caches that might stick around — especially if you plan to reinstall later or just want a clean slate.
How to Uninstall Roblox on Windows 11
This method works well if you just want to chuck Roblox off your PC and free up some space. It’s handy when Roblox is running normally, and you don’t have any crashes or weird errors.
Step 1: Open the Start Menu
Hit the Windows icon on the bottom left or press Win on your keyboard. That’s the quickest way to access everything. From there, head into the Settings app.
Step 2: Pull up Settings
Type “Settings” in the search bar and hit Enter. Fair dinkum, Windows 11’s Settings are a bit of a mess, but it’s where all the installed apps are kept these days. If you like, you can also right-click the Start button and select Apps & Features — sometimes that’s faster, especially on newer builds.
Step 3: Head to Apps
In Settings, click on Apps, then choose Installed Apps or Apps & features. This is where all your apps are listed, and you’ll find Roblox lurking somewhere in the list.
Step 4: Find Roblox
Scroll down or use the search box to hunt for “Roblox”. Sometimes it’s easier to type “Roblox” in the search bar at the top of the Apps & features window. On some setups, Roblox might be listed under “Roblox Corporation” — so keep an eye out.
Step 5: Uninstall Roblox
Click on Roblox, then hit the Uninstall button that pops up. Confirm any prompts — yep, you really want to delete it. Windows will start removing the files, but don’t be surprised if some residual stuff sticks around. Because, of course, Windows sometimes makes life hard.
On some setups, the uninstaller might open a Roblox-specific uninstaller window — just follow those prompts. If it’s being stubborn, running the uninstaller as an admin can help. To do that, right-click the Roblox uninstaller or its entry in the list and choose Run as administrator.
Extra tip: Remove leftover files
Once done, go into C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Local\Roblox and delete those folders if they’re still hanging around. Sometimes Windows leaves caches in %LocalAppData% or %ProgramFiles%. Also, check your Documents folder for any Roblox files.
If you’re comfortable with the command line, you can also remove leftover registry entries or residual files using PowerShell or Command Prompt, but it’s not always necessary unless you’re deadset on tidying everything up.
Tips for Uninstalling Roblox on Windows 11
- Save any game progress stored locally, just in case something goes haywire.
- Check your Documents and Downloads folders for Roblox-related files or backups.
- Sometimes, a third-party uninstaller like Revo Uninstaller can chase down any leftovers Windows misses. Good for getting rid of stubborn bits.
- Remember, Windows updates can mess with uninstallation, so it’s smart to run updates first if things aren’t working right.
- If you’re planning to reinstall Roblox later, make sure you’ve got your login details handy — just in case.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I reinstall Roblox after uninstalling it?
For sure. Just grab the latest version from the official Roblox site whenever you’re ready to jump back in.
Will uninstalling Roblox delete my account?
No worries. Your Roblox account is stored online, so uninstalling the game won’t delete your profile or progress. Just be mindful that any local files or saved settings might be gone unless you back them up beforehand.
What if I can’t find Roblox in the Apps & Features list?
Sometimes Roblox hides in the Control Panel under Programs and Features. To open that, press Win + R, type appwiz.cpl, and hit Enter. You might see Roblox there, ready to be uninstalled.
How do I make sure it’s gone for good?
Cleaning out leftover files manually or with a third-party tool helps. Also, check for Roblox caches in %AppData% and %LocalAppData%, deleting them can prevent any weird bugs if you reinstall down the track.
Do I need admin rights?
Most of the time, yeah. You’ll likely need admin privileges to fully uninstall programs. If it’s a pain and refuses to go, try running the uninstaller as an administrator.
Summary
- Open the Start Menu, then go to Settings or Apps & Features.
- Find Roblox on the list.
- Click Uninstall, confirm, and let Windows do its thing.
- Clean up any leftover files if you reckon it’s necessary (check AppData folders).
Hopefully, this saves you a bit of hassle. Just remember, Windows can sometimes make these things a bigger faff than they need to be, but a bit of patience and manual cleanup will usually do the trick.
