Got too many games and not enough space on your Nintendo Switch? It happens! If you’re wondering “How do I delete a game on my Nintendo Switch?”, you’re in the right place.

Let’s dive into deleting games from your Switch, freeing up some space for new adventures.

Quick Steps to Delete a Game

Deleting a game on your Nintendo Switch is easy. Just go to your Home screen, find the game you want to delete, press the + or – button, select ‘Manage Software,’ and then ‘Delete Software.’ Voilà!
