Quick Steps to Delete Nintendo Games
Deleting games from your Nintendo Switch is simple. First, navigate to the ‘System Settings’ on your Switch’s home screen. Then, scroll down and select ‘Data Management’.
In ‘Data Management’, you’ll see an option for ‘Manage Software’. Here, you’ll find a list of all the games and apps installed on your Switch. Click on the game you want to delete, and select ‘Delete Software’. That’s it! The game will be removed from your console.
Why Delete Games on Your Nintendo Switch?
Maybe you’re done with a game, and you’re looking to free up some space for new ones. Or perhaps you’re aiming to declutter your home screen. Whichever the reason, deleting games you no longer play is a great way to keep your Switch tidy and ready for new adventures.
Remember, deleting a game doesn’t mean you lose it forever. You can always re-download any purchased games from the Nintendo eShop. So, feel free to clean up without worry!
