How Do You Reset a Nintendo Switch Lite?

Last updated
Curious about resetting your Nintendo Switch Lite? Resetting can refresh your device, just like taking a power nap does for us!
Let’s dive into the process of resetting a Nintendo Switch Lite. It’s like hitting the reset button on your day, but for your console.
Quick Steps to Reset Your Switch Lite
Resetting your Nintendo Switch Lite is easy! First, hold down the power button located on the top left side of the device for three seconds. Then, select Power Options and choose Restart. Boom, you’ve given your device a quick refresh!
If you’re looking for a deeper clean, like when you really need to declutter your digital life, you can perform a factory reset. Just remember, this will erase all your data, so back up anything important first. To do this, go to System Settings, scroll down to System, choose Initialize, and tap on Initialize Console. Keep in mind, this is a full reset, so only do it if you really need to start fresh.
