Ever wondered how to remove a user profile from your Nintendo Switch? Maybe you’re clearing out old accounts or making room for new players. Let’s dive right into explaining how you can do just that.

Deleting a Nintendo Switch profile might sound like a tech-savvy task, but it’s pretty straightforward. Let’s break it down into easy steps.

Quick Steps to Delete a Nintendo Switch Profile

First off, power up your Nintendo Switch and tap on ‘System Settings’ on the home screen. Scroll down and select ‘Users.’ Now, choose the profile you wish to delete. Look for ‘Delete User’ at the bottom. If you’re sure, confirm to remove the profile. That’s it!

This procedure ensures the profile gets completely wiped off your console. However, remember that this also means any data saved under this profile, including game saves, will be gone for good. So, think twice before hitting that delete button.
