It’s possible you will lose some of your data while restoring your Nintendo Switch to its factory settings. But not everything will be lost; you will be able to reinstall the games that you’ve previously purchased.
What will happen if I hard reset my Switch?
This will erase everything except your save data, screenshots, and account data. If you have games downloaded, you’ll need to re-download them, and all your settings will revert to their factory defaults.
Does Switch hard reset delete data?
Save data, screenshots and videos, and user information will not be deleted.
