So, you’re wondering how to delete an account from your Nintendo Switch, right? Whether you’re selling your console, giving it to someone else, or just want to clear out old profiles, removing an account is something Nintendo Switch users might need to do from time to time.

Quick Answer: Deleting a Nintendo Switch Account

Removing an account from your Nintendo Switch is straightforward. You’ll need to access the System Settings menu from your home screen, select ‘Users,’ pick the account you want to delete, and then follow the prompts to remove it.
