Riot Games Logs & Crash Dumps (VALORANT & League of Legends)

Bottom Line: It is 100% safe to delete Riot Games log folders. Deleting log files will NOT delete your game files, rank, Valorant Points (VP), skins, or account settings.

What are Riot Games Log Folders?

Located at %LocalAppData%\Riot Games\VALORANT\Saved\Logs and %LocalAppData%\Riot Games\Riot Client\Logs on Windows, these folders store diagnostic logs created by Riot Games and Riot Vanguard.

Riot Client generates:

• Game Session Logs: Diagnostic text files recording match connections, frame rates, and ping.
• Vanguard Logs: Anti-cheat diagnostic telemetry logs.
• Crash Dumps (Saved/Logs): Uncompressed memory crash dumps created when Valorant or League of Legends crashes.

Playing Valorant or League of Legends daily causes log files to accumulate, taking up 1 GB to 6 GB+ of drive space.

Can You Delete Riot Games Logs?

✅ Yes, it is completely safe to delete.

• No game reinstall needed: Game binaries stay 100% safe in C:\Riot Games.
• Auto-rebuilt: Riot Client will simply start writing to a fresh log file during your next match.
