Ever wondered how to clean up your Nintendo Switch home screen by removing games you no longer play? Let’s dive into that!
Let’s explore how you can remove games from your Nintendo Switch home screen and keep your gaming space tidy.
Quick Steps to Remove Games
Removing games from your Nintendo Switch home screen is as simple as pressing a few buttons. First, navigate to the game you want to remove. Then, press the ‘+’ or ‘-‘ button on your controller to open the options menu for that game.
In the options menu, you’ll find ‘Manage Software’ and then ‘Archive Software.’ Selecting ‘Archive Software’ will remove the game from your home screen but not delete it from your system, so you can always re-download it later without any extra cost.
Why Removing Games Can Be Handy
Keeping your Nintendo Switch home screen organized can help you find your favorite games faster. It also makes your screen look cleaner and more personalized. Remember, archiving games doesn’t delete your saved data, so you can pick up right where you left off if you decide to re-download a game.
Archiving games you’re no longer playing is an excellent way to make room for new titles without losing access to your old favorites. This way, your home screen only displays the games you’re currently into, making your gaming experience even smoother.
