How to Delete Your Valorant Account Step-by-Step
To delete your Valorant account, you need to submit an account deletion request through Riot Games Support. There’s no delete button in the game client — Riot handles it manually, and the process takes about 30 days. Here’s the full walkthrough.
How to Delete Your Valorant Account
Step 1: Sign In to Riot Support
Go to support-valorant.riotgames.com and log in with the Riot account you want to delete. Make sure you’re signed into the correct account — this is permanent.
Step 2: Submit a Deletion Request
- Click Submit a Ticket
- Select Account Management, Data Requests, or Deletion as the request type
- Choose Delete My Account from the options
- Fill in the required details — Riot may ask you to verify your identity by confirming your account’s email, username, or purchase history
- Submit the request
Step 3: Wait for Confirmation
Riot will send a confirmation email to the address linked to your account. You’ll need to confirm that you actually want the deletion to proceed. If you don’t confirm, the request expires.
Step 4: 30-Day Waiting Period
After confirmation, Riot begins a 30-day deactivation period. During this time:
- Your account is disabled — you can’t log in to Valorant, League of Legends, or any other Riot game
- You can cancel the deletion by contacting support within this window
- After 30 days, the deletion is permanent and irreversible
What Gets Deleted
When Riot deletes your account, everything goes:
- All Valorant data — rank, match history, stats, MMR
- All purchased skins and items — every VP you spent is gone
- Valorant Points (VP) balance — unspent VP is not refunded
- Radianite Points — gone
- Battle pass progress and rewards — all of it
- Agent contracts and unlocks — reset completely
- Your Riot ID — the username becomes available again (eventually)
- Access to ALL Riot games — this deletes your Riot account, not just Valorant. League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics, Wild Rift, and Legends of Runeterra data are all removed too
This is the part most people miss: deleting your Valorant account means deleting your entire Riot Games account. If you play League or any other Riot title, you lose everything across all games.
Before You Delete: Consider These Alternatives
Sell Your Account Instead
If your account has value — ranked history, rare skins, full agent roster — you could sell it rather than delete it. Accounts with Immortal+ ranks or discontinued skins (Champions bundles, limited collections) can be worth $100-$500+.

Just Stop Playing
You don’t have to delete the account to take a break. Valorant accounts don’t expire or get charged maintenance fees. You can walk away and come back in a year with everything intact. Your competitive rank will decay, but your MMR, skins, and unlocks stay.
Uninstall Without Deleting
If you want Valorant off your computer but might come back someday, just uninstall the game and the Riot Vanguard anti-cheat. Your account stays safe in the cloud.
How to Unlink Valorant From Other Platforms
If you just want to disconnect Valorant from a specific platform (like unlinking your Riot account from your Xbox or PlayStation), you don’t need to delete anything:
- Go to account.riotgames.com
- Navigate to Riot ID or Linked Accounts
- Disconnect the platform you want to unlink
This keeps your account alive but removes the connection to a specific console or service.
FAQ
Can I delete my Valorant account without deleting my Riot account? No. Valorant runs on your Riot Games account. Deleting one deletes the other, including all data for League of Legends, TFT, and other Riot games.
Can I recover a deleted Valorant account? Only during the 30-day waiting period. After that, the deletion is permanent and Riot cannot restore the account or any of its data.
Will I get a refund for my VP or skins? No. Riot does not issue refunds as part of the account deletion process. Any unspent VP and all purchased items are permanently removed.
How long does it take to delete a Valorant account? The full process takes about 30 days from the time you confirm the deletion request. The initial support ticket response usually comes within 24-48 hours.
Can I create a new account with the same email after deletion? Yes, once the deletion is fully processed, you can use the same email address to create a new Riot account. However, none of your previous data, purchases, or progress will carry over.
The Bottom Line
Deleting your Valorant account is permanent and affects all Riot games tied to that account. Before you go through with it, consider whether selling the account or simply stepping away might be a better option.
If you’re sure, submit your request through Riot Games Support and confirm the deletion email. You have 30 days to change your mind.
