How to Delete Games Off Your Nintendo Switch

Ever found yourself wondering how to clear up space on your Nintendo Switch by deleting games you no longer play? Well, you’re not alone. Let’s dive into how you can free up some space on your device.

So, how exactly does one go about removing games from their Nintendo Switch? The process is simpler than you might think.

Quick Steps to Delete Games

Deleting games from your Nintendo Switch is a breeze. All you need to do is navigate to the ‘System Settings’ on your Switch’s home screen, scroll down to ‘Data Management’, and then select ‘Manage Software’. Here, you’ll find a list of all your games. Choose the game you want to delete and select ‘Delete Software’. It’s that easy!

This won’t affect your saved game data or your ability to re-download the game later. If you decide you want to play the game again, you can simply download it again from the Nintendo eShop without any additional cost, provided you’re using the same Nintendo account.

Why Deleting Games Can Be a Good Idea

Deleting games you no longer play can free up a significant amount of storage space, especially since some Nintendo Switch games can have large file sizes. This makes room for new games or updates to your current favorites. It’s a simple way to manage your Switch’s storage without needing to purchase additional SD cards.

Another reason might be to declutter your home screen. Keeping only the games you’re actively playing can make navigating your library faster and more enjoyable.
