Just a heads-up, deleting your Animal Crossing save data erases EVERYTHING. You lose your island, villagers, items... like it never happened. Only do it if you're sure because there's no going back!

Restarting your Animal Crossing: New Horizons game is pretty simple but also a big decision! On your Nintendo Switch, first, make sure the game is closed. Then, from the Switch's Home menu, select 'System Settings' > 'Data Management' > 'Delete Save Data'. Choose Animal Crossing from the list of games, and confirm you want to delete the save data. Boom – you're back to square one, ready to choose your island layout and meet your new villager pals!

Honestly, why restart? Part of the charm is rolling with the punches. But hey, if you must, just follow the steps to delete your save data. Remember, starting over means rediscovering all the surprises!

Too drastic! Just trade with friends or redecorate. Restarting erases unique items and events you've experienced. Isn't tweaking your current island better than nuking the whole thing?
