Ever found yourself wondering how to remove those games on your Nintendo Switch that you no longer play? You’re not alone! Let’s dive into how you can clean up your game library and make room for new adventures.

So, how exactly do you delete games from your Nintendo Switch? We’ll break it down for you, step by step.

Quick Steps to Delete Games

Deleting games on your Nintendo Switch is a straightforward process. First, navigate to the Home screen. Then, select the game you wish to delete and press the ‘+’ or ‘-‘ button on your controller. Choose ‘Manage Software’ and then ‘Delete Software’. Confirm your choice, and voilà, the game is gone!

This process not only frees up space but also helps you keep your library organized. If you ever want to play the game again, you can re-download it from the Nintendo eShop as long as you’re using the same Nintendo account.
