How to Delete a User on Nintendo Switch
Last updated
Ever wondered how you can remove a user profile from your Nintendo Switch? Well, you’re in the right spot!
So, let’s dive into how you can delete a user on your Nintendo Switch. It’s simpler than you might think!
Quick Steps to Delete a User on Nintendo Switch
First things first, jump into the System Settings from the Switch’s Home screen. Scroll down until you find ‘Users,’ then select the user profile you want to say goodbye to.
After selecting the profile, look for ‘Delete User’ at the bottom of the options. If this user has any Nintendo eShop purchases, you’ll be asked to enter your password. Confirm your choice, and voila, the user is gone!
Why Delete a User Profile?
Maybe you’re tidying up your Switch, or perhaps someone no longer uses the console. Whatever the reason, deleting a user profile helps keep your Switch organized and personal.
Remember, though, deleting a user profile removes their save data, screenshots, and any link to Nintendo eShop purchases—it’s a permanent goodbye!
