In this video, we will take a look at how you reset the Nintendo Switch back to factory defaults. You would return the Nintendo Switch back to factory defaults if you intend to sell or give away your console.
If you’re having trouble with your Nintendo Switch, a factory reset might be the solution. But before you go ahead and do it, make sure to back up your game save data. That way, you won’t lose anything important. Instead of a factory reset, you can try using the “Restoring factory settings without deleting save data” option. That might be a better way to troubleshoot your Switch.
Note: While the process demonstrated in this video will delete games data, game saves and user ID’s, it will not downgrade the current version of the consoles firmware.
