Some games that I never wanna play again have hundreds of megabytes worth of save data. Minecraft has 1.5 gigabytes of it.

I wanna eventually buy the Borderlands games, but 2 and the Pre-Sequel are digital only and my SD card slot is broken. I have a base model, so I've decided to go through and get rid of some old crap I'm not gonna play again - most of it is backed up on the cloud anyway.

Borderlands games are great on Switch, IMO. Ive put thousands of hours on BL2 and The Presequel. Definitely worth clearing the space.

So long,

Have you thought about replacing the SD slot? My son's Switch wouldn't hold the card SD in place. So, I looked into it and found that it was a cheap and easy fix. I picked up a replacement part on Amazon for like $15. Swapping the parts took about 10-15 minutes.

Honestly, I was thinking about getting a Switch OLED by trading in my original model. I'll have to look into this, I have a 128gb microSD card ready to go.

PSA, if you've ever played a demo where the save data can carry over to the full game, you're probably holding onto around 64mb of hard drive space. Especially if you didn't like the demo and have no plans to get the full game.

I just deleted Crystal Chronicles save data that was 64mb. Dragon Quest Builders has a 163mb save file, and I barely played it back in 2018.

My SD card slot was broken right out of the box. It never worked in the first place.

Super Smash Bros Ultimate has 109mb worth of save data. I never really.liked Smash Ultimate - I don't think I like Smash at all, to tell you the truth. It's gonna be the last save file I delete today.

I went from 6.2gb to 7.9gb just by deleting unwanted save data.

so I wasn't able to clear enough room for the Handsome Collection, but I did clear enough room for Paladins.
