How to Delete Your Nintendo Switch Account

Have you ever wondered how to remove a Nintendo Switch account? Maybe you’re clearing up old profiles or making space for new ones. Let’s dive right in and figure out how to do it!

So, you’re looking to delete a Nintendo Switch account, you say? Well, you’re in the right place to learn exactly how to do that.

Quick Steps to Delete Your Account

Deleting a Nintendo Switch account isn’t hard. First, you need to know that by doing this, you’ll lose access to any games or content purchased with that account. So, make sure you really want to say goodbye!

Here’s what you need to do: Go to the System Settings on your Nintendo Switch, scroll down to ‘Users,’ select the user profile you want to delete, and then select ‘Delete User.’ Follow the prompts, and voila! You’ve successfully deleted the account.

What Happens Next?

After you delete the account, all the data associated with it disappears. This includes game saves, screenshots, and any downloadable content (DLC) you might have bought. Remember, once you delete it, there’s no getting it back, so be sure!

If you have an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription, you might want to cancel that too, to avoid future charges.
