Uninstalling Valorant can be a bit tricky due to its anti-cheat system, Vanguard. You'll need to disable Vanguard first before you can uninstall the game. Go to the system tray, right-click on the Vanguard icon, and choose 'Exit Vanguard'. After that, you should be able to uninstall Valorant like any other program through the Control Panel.

Honestly, why bother uninstalling? Valorant's the best game out there. But if you really must, disabling Vanguard first is key, as others have said.

Had the same issue! What worked for me: just boot into Safe Mode and try uninstalling Valorant from there. The game's anti-cheat doesn't start up in Safe Mode, making the uninstall process smooth.
