How to Remove an Account from Your Nintendo Switch

Wondering how you can remove an account from your Nintendo Switch? You’re in the right place. Whether you’re selling your console, passing it on, or simply tidying up your account list, removing an account is a pretty straightforward process.

Let’s dive right in and discover the steps to remove an account from a Nintendo Switch.

Quick Steps to Remove an Account

To remove an account from your Nintendo Switch, start by turning on your console and navigating to the System Settings. Scroll down and select Users, then pick the user profile you wish to remove. Here, you’ll find the option to Delete User. If prompted, enter your Parental Controls PIN. After confirming, the account will be removed from your device.

Remember, deleting a user account will erase all save data linked to that account from your console. Make sure you’ve backed up any important game saves to the cloud (if you’re a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber) or transferred them to another console beforehand.
