How to Remove a Nintendo Account From Your Switch

Ever wondered how to untangle a Nintendo account from your beloved Switch? Let’s dive right into the simplest way to do just that.

Maybe you’re passing your Switch onto a new owner, or you just need a fresh start. Either way, removing a Nintendo account is something Switch owners often find themselves needing to figure out.

Quick Steps to Remove your Nintendo Account

Ready for a quick fix? Head straight into your System Settings, scroll down to ‘Users,’ and then select the user profile linked to the account you wish to remove. Choose ‘Delete User,’ and if prompted, enter your Parental Controls PIN. Once you hit that delete button, say goodbye to the account on your device!

Remember, deleting a user profile will also delete all the save data associated with it. So, make sure you back up what you can if you don’t want to lose your hard-earned game progress.
