Before you do this, you must make sure that Roblox is not open and running on your PC. The best way to find this out is by going into the Task Manager and then finding your Roblox App and going into the End Task option. To open the Task Manager simply press CTRL + ALT + DEL and open it.

Then we can begin by deleting it. You shall first need to write this in your windows search bar:

A new folder will open up with very weird folder names. Here you will need to navigate into the AppData and then open up the Local folder. Under the Local folder, you shall need to find the Roblox folder.

Here you shall just need to select it and delete it completely. It will take a while so you will need to wait a minute or two until it is finished.

Then without the game, you shall try to reinstall the Roblox game from the very beginning once again. Once the game gets installed one more time you will open it to see if it works.
