Last updated

So, you’re on a quest to find more free space on your Nintendo Switch? Perfect, you’re in the right spot to learn just how to do that.
Quick and Easy Solutions
One of the simplest ways to get more free space on your Nintendo Switch is to archive games you’re not currently playing. Don’t worry! Archiving doesn’t delete your saved game data; it just frees up space by removing the game files. You can always re-download the game later.
Another quick fix is to insert a microSD card. The Nintendo Switch supports microSD cards up to 2TB in size. That’s a lot of extra space for games, screenshots, and video clips!
