Delete the Roblox folder

If you are having a particularly persistent problem, it may be helpful to fully remove the Roblox folder after uninstalling to make sure there are not any corrupted or outdated files left over. You can do this by following the steps below:

1. Right click on the start button and click Explore or File Explorer

2. Navigate to this folder : C:\Users\(Your Windows Username)\AppData\Local

3. Delete the Roblox folder

Note: This should not delete any places that you may have saved in Studio unless you have manually chosen to save them in this folder.

Difficulty Uninstalling

If you are having difficulty uninstalling the program, try the following:

Clear your Temporary Internet Files

An important step in any uninstall or reinstall process is to clear your browser's temporary internet files. This will help with any corruption issues that might have arisen. For assistance with this process, please click here and see the Clear Your Temporary Internet Files and Cookies section.

Check Your Firewall

A lot of antivirus or internet security software tries to control which programs can access the internet. Often, these programs err on the side of caution and by default no program is allowed access. For assistance with looking into this and allowing Roblox through any blockages, click here. 

Reinstall Roblox

The next possibility is to Reinstall. This may seem counter-intuitive but if the problem is a corrupted file from a previously unsuccessful uninstall attempt, this will overwrite the copy of the program on your computer, and replace any deleted or broken files. You should then be able to go into your Start menu and uninstall the program. For assistance with reinstalling, please click here.

Mac Instructions

Completely Close Out of the Roblox Program

• Press the Command + Option + Esc keys to open a task management prompt

• Make sure you do not see Roblox or Roblox Studio in it

• If either program is listed, please select Roblox or Roblox Studio and click Force Quit

Open Finder and Search for "NPRoblox.plugin"  

• Once you have found this item, delete it

Note: Make sure you are searching all folders within your Mac. If you are searching within the local folder, your search will not execute properly.

Go to Finder > Applications

• Drag the Roblox icon into the trash

  • The icon in finder contains all of the Roblox files that have been installed
