Ever wondered how you could remove a user from your Nintendo Switch? Maybe you’ve got too many profiles cluttering your home screen, or perhaps someone’s no longer using the console. Let’s clear that up, shall we?

So, you want to know how to remove a user from your Nintendo Switch? You’re in the right place to find out!

Quick Steps to Remove a User

Removing a user from your Nintendo Switch is a straightforward process. First, go to your system’s ‘System Settings’ from the home screen. Scroll down to ‘Users,’ and select the profile you wish to remove.

There, you’ll see the option ‘Delete User.’ If you’re sure you want to remove this profile, simply click on it. If the user had a Nintendo Account linked, you’d have to decide whether to keep or delete the saved data associated with that account. And that’s it! The user is removed.

Why Removing a User Might Be a Good Idea

Removing unused or unwanted user profiles can help keep your Nintendo Switch tidy and organized. Plus, it makes it easier to navigate between active users. It’s especially helpful if you’re sharing the console with family or friends.

Removing a user also frees up space for new profiles, should you need them in the future. It’s a simple way to manage your console’s user accounts and ensure everyone who’s currently playing has their own space.
