Restoring factory settings without deleting save

data

Alongside restoring the console to factory settings

and deleting all data, you can also restore factory

settings without deleting save data.

If you are trying to reformat your console because

a problem has occurred, we recommend that you

try the latter method first.

If you choose to reformat your console in this way,

the following types of data will remain in the

system memory, and all other data will be deleted:

• Save data

• Screenshots

• User information

・ Nintendo Account link

・ Registration of your console as the active

console for downloads for your Nintendo Account

(only when connected to the internet)

You will become unable to use software data

saved on a microSD card
