Ever wondered how to keep your Nintendo Switch running smoothly by cleaning its cache? Let’s dive into the simple steps to get your console feeling fresh!

Cleaning the cache of your Nintendo Switch is like giving your beloved console a mini spa day. It helps in removing temporary files that might slow down your gaming experience.

Quick Steps to Clean Your Nintendo Switch Cache

To start cleaning your Nintendo Switch’s cache, head over to the System Settings. Scroll down and find ‘System’, then select ‘Formatting Options’. Don’t worry; it sounds scarier than it is. Here, you’ll find the option to ‘Clear Cache’. Choose this, select the user whose cache you want to clear, and confirm. Voila! Your console is now refreshed.

This process won’t delete your saves or games, so breathe easy. It just clears out those temporary files that aren’t needed anymore, making your Switch run smoother.
