Uninstalling Roblox on Windows 11 isn’t complicated, but it’s kind of weird how the process isn’t as straightforward as you’d hope. Basically, you can do it through the Settings or the Control Panel, but sometimes it feels like Windows makes it harder than it needs to. The goal here is to get rid of Roblox completely, including any leftover files or caches that might be lingering, which can cause issues if you reinstall later or want a clean slate.
How to Uninstall Roblox on Windows 11
This method works well if you just want to blast Roblox off your system and reclaim some space. It applies when Roblox is behaving normally but you want to uninstall it—no crashes or weird errors.
Step 1: Open the Start Menu
Click the Windows icon on the bottom left corner, or press Win on your keyboard. Best way to access everything. From there, you want to get into the Settings app.
Step 2: Access the Settings App
Type “Settings” into the search bar and hit Enter. Trust me, Windows 11’s Settings app is kind of a mess, but it’s where Windows keeps all the installed apps these days. If you prefer, you can also right-click the Start button and pick Apps & Features directly — it’s faster sometimes, especially on newer builds.
Step 3: Navigate to Apps
In Settings, click on Apps, then choose Installed Apps or Apps & features. This is where everything listed is, and you can find Roblox in this giant list.
Step 4: Find Roblox in the List
Scroll down or search for “Roblox” in the search box. Sometimes it’s easier if you type “Roblox” in that search bar right at the top of the Apps & features window. On some setups, Roblox might be showing under “Roblox Corporation” – so keep an eye out.
Step 5: Uninstall Roblox
Click on Roblox, then hit the Uninstall button that appears. Confirm any prompts — yes, you really wanna delete it. Windows will start removing the files, but don’t be surprised if it leaves some residual stuff behind. Because of course, Windows has to make it harder than necessary.
On some setups, the uninstaller might open a Roblox-specific uninstaller window — just follow those prompts. If it’s stubborn, running the uninstaller as an admin can sometimes help. To do that, right-click the Roblox uninstaller or the app in the list and choose Run as administrator.
Extra tip: Clear leftover files
Once that’s done, go into C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Local\Roblox and delete the folders if they’re still hanging around. Sometimes Windows leaves some cache in %LocalAppData% or %ProgramFiles%. You can also check your Documents folder for any Roblox files.
If you’re comfortable with command line, a quick way to remove leftover registry entries or residual files is to use PowerShell or Command Prompt, but none of it’s absolutely necessary unless you’re super OCD about cleaning every trace.
Tips for Uninstalling Roblox on Windows 11
- Make sure you save any game progress if it’s stored locally, just in case something goes sideways.
- Check your Documents and Downloads folders for Roblox-related files or backups.
- Sometimes, using a third-party uninstaller like Revo Uninstaller helps snag leftover junk that Windows misses. Good for completely cleaning out stubborn apps.
- Remember, Windows updates can sometimes break uninstallation flows, so run updates first if stuff isn’t working right.
- If you plan to reinstall Roblox later, keep your login info handy — just in case.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I reinstall Roblox after uninstalling it?
Yep, just grab the latest version from the official Roblox site whenever you’re ready to jump back in.
Will uninstalling Roblox delete my account?
Nope. Your account lives online, so uninstalling it won’t delete your profile or progress. Just be aware that local files or saved settings might be gone unless you back them up.
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 find Roblox there, ready to uninstall too.
How do I make sure it’s gone for good?
Cleaning leftover files manually or with a third-party tool helps. Also, check for Roblox caches in %AppData% and %LocalAppData% — deleting those can prevent weird bugs if you reinstall later.
Do I need admin rights?
Yeah, most of the time you need admin privileges to fully uninstall programs. If it’s refusing to uninstall, try running the uninstaller as an administrator.
Summary
- Open the Start Menu, then Settings or Apps & Features.
- Find Roblox in the list.
- Click Uninstall, confirm, and let Windows do its thing.
- Clean up leftover files if needed (check AppData folders).
Hopefully, this shaves off a few hours for someone. Just remember, sometimes Windows makes these things unnecessarily complicated, but a bit of digging and manual cleanup usually gets the job done.
