Quick Steps to Reset Your Nintendo Switch

Resetting your Nintendo Switch is a straightforward process. First, make sure your system is completely off. Hold down the power button for a few seconds and select ‘Power Options’, then ‘Turn Off’.

Next, you’ll want to enter Recovery Mode. Hold down the volume up and down buttons simultaneously with the power button. Keep holding until the recovery menu pops up. Here, you can choose to ‘Initialize Console Without Deleting Save Data’ for a soft reset or ‘Initialize Console’ for a full factory reset. Keep in mind, a full reset will erase everything, so backup any precious game saves first!
