So, how do you delete a game from your Nintendo Switch? It might seem tricky, but it’s actually quite simple once you know the steps.
Quick Guide to Deleting a Game
To delete a game from your Nintendo Switch, start by selecting ‘System Settings’ from the home screen. Scroll down and choose ‘Data Management’, then ‘Manage Software’. Here, you’ll find a list of all your games. Select the game you want to remove and choose ‘Delete Software’. Voila! You’ve freed up some space.
Don’t worry; deleting a game doesn’t mean you lose it forever. If you decide you miss the game, you can redownload it from the Nintendo eShop as long as you’re using the same Nintendo Account.
