If Your microSD Card is Full...

To free up space on a full microSD card, delete photo, video or sound files you no longer need via Data Management in the System Settings
( p. 50). Alternatively, transfer all of the data from your current microSD card to one with a larger capacity. You can save software to another
microSD card, but cannot later combine the contents of multiple microSD cards.
In order to transfer data, you will need a computer with a microSD card slot, or a commercially available microSD card reader/writer, and
should transfer the entire "Nintendo 3DS" folder to the target microSD card.

•
Always copy the folder to the root of the microSD card.

Precautions for Copying Software
Always copy the entire "Nintendo 3DS" folder.
If updated data is saved on the new microSD card, you may not be able to use the same software with the original microSD card.
You should only use one microSD card with a software title at a time; the same software cannot be copied to multiple microSD cards
for use as backups of your progress. Ensure that you only use the new microSD card.
You cannot copy data using the following methods
Downloadable software saved on multiple microSD cards cannot be consolidated onto a single microSD card.
Copying new data over existing data will render the target data unusable.
If the contents of the "Nintendo 3DS" folder are modified or if individual files are
copied from one "Nintendo 3DS" folder to another, they will be rendered unusable.
The entire "Nintendo 3DS" folder must be copied without any modification in order
to use the data.
